Creating a Sustainable Sunshine Coast - Nambour to Mooloolah

Certified Organic Produce from Sandy Creek Organic Farm, Beerwah
and Riverwood Organic Farm, Peachester
at the Palmwoods Market

Hotel Carpark Palmwoods

Saturday 5th May 7am to 12noon

All produce is Certified Organic with ACO (Australian Certified Organic) www.australianorganic.com.au.

All produce is picked and packed on Friday afternoon before the market.

Recipe idea
Our after-market dinner each fortnight is a dish I call SeaPalm Noodles using Pak Choy, Lemongrass and Coriander from Sandy Creek, peppers and pumpkin from Riverwood and mixed seafood from Mel's Seafood van. Add a Laksa paste, coconut milk and lime juice, a fine Aussie white and enjoy the fresh flavours of local produce. If Italian is your preference swap the noodles for fettucini and use fresh tomatoes, parsley, basil, sweet potato, garlic and olive oil.

Music at the Market. Kel de Zac will be playing this Saturday. Their music is invigorating and exciting; come and enjoy this experience.
