Question 1

Where can I buy your produce?

Accepted Answer

We sell weekly at two weekend markets:
Saturdays 9am-1pm : Alexandra Summer Market, Pioneer Park
Sundays 9am-1pm: Cromwell Farmers & Craft Market, Cromwell Heritage Precinct
For exact dates, please visit our Market Info page.

We are also trialling a Veggie Bag service to get our veggies straight to your door!

Question 2

Do you have a Farm Stall on your property?

Accepted Answer

At this stage, no we do not. Our market garden is closed to the public.

However, if you would like to purchase any vegetables during the week for collection from our address (10 minutes drive South of Alexandra town), please send us an email or direct message on Facebook. We are always happy to organise a fresh harvest for you to collect at a scheduled time, subject to availability.

Question 3

Are you Organic?

Accepted Answer

Great question! There are both domestic and international laws that prohibit the use of the term "organic" in advertising without proper legal certification.

Certification can be a costly and lengthy process for a small business like ourselves,  so we have elected not to pursue this at this stage. We do however strongly believe in the importance of organic growing, and use no synthetic sprays nor pesticides during our growing process. Without undergoing the certification process, our market garden is classified as "Spray-Free".

Question 4
