The Blue Bird Cafe duo (that would be Roger and Me), has joined the Eat Local Thursday Market as stallholders. We have decided to focus our market offerings on our gluten-free range of food. Last Thursday was our first foray into the market which operates at the Murrumbidgee Turf Club in Wagga Wagga between 2.30 and 6.30pm. We really enjoyed meeting the other local food producers and felt so welcomed by their friendliness that we knew that it was the right decision to bring our food out of the cafe for a day a week and introduce it to a new audience. We know that there are many people out there who have made the gluten-free commitment and we enjoy the challenge of catering for their needs.
Last week we had Christmas cakes, Christmas stuffing, Roger's Rock Show sauce, luxury fudge and gluten-free party popcorn mix. We also took along our special CLOey fertiliser to share with the market stallholders. This week we will have ready-to-heat gluten-free meals, retro chocky rocks, lemon teacake, chocolate nut biscuits and gluten-free jelly slice.
The raison d'etre for the market is to provide an outlet for local food produces to sell their specialties to an urban public. There is an emphasis on organic produce and the stallholders support each other by buying ingredients from each other. So the tomatoes in Roger's sauce are locally grown and we get to hand pick them at the market. And so on. We look forward to this week and meeting more like-minded food produces and buyers.
