MEDIA RELEASE 17 December 2008
Capital Region Farmers Market launches new website
The Capital Region Farmers Market, held every Saturday morning in Canberra, has
launched a new website www.farmersmarket.org.au.
Tony Howard, Capital Region Farmers Market spokesperson, said the website was
designed with both consumers and Market producers in mind.
"The website was designed to improve interactivity between our stallholders and
visitors. Consumers can access a complete list of producers attending the Market
with the range of products they sell and email them directly from the website,"
Tony said.
"For a limited time, visitors registering their details on the website can enter
a draw to win one of two fresh produce Christmas hampers. Winners will be
announced at the Farmers Market on Saturday, 20 December at 9 am, which will be
specially held at the Canberra Racecourse," he added.
Registered consumers will also be kept up-to-date with Farmers Market news and
special offers and will receive useful information such as recipe ideas and
cooking tips.
To provide consumers with fresh produce for Christmas celebrations, the Farmers
Market will hold a special Christmas market on Tuesday, 23 December at Kamberra
Wines (Northbourne Ave) from 2 to 5 pm.
The Market will take a break on Saturday, 3 January and will return to its
normal venue at the Exhibition Park on Saturday, 10 January from 8 am to 11 am.
The Capital Region Farmers Market, generally held at the Exhibition Park (EPIC)
every Saturday morning, is a genuine farmers market with over 100 stalls
offering a diverse range of fresh food and agricultural produce straight from
the producer to the customer. Produce sold includes fruit, vegetables, meats,
breads, organic and specialist products, eggs, coffee, nuts, honey, seafood,
chocolate, wines and oils, cakes, flowers and more.
All funds generated from the Market are fed back into regional communities and
other projects chosen by the Rotary Club of Hall which founded the Market in
2004.
