A GREAT alternative to purchasing groceries from large supermarket chains is to get out and enjoy some fresh air and support local food producers. Emerald Bank Community market is your new, go-to destination for your weekly grocery shop. Boasting fresh produce, gourmet food, amazing handmade arts, crafts and giftware, it’s also the perfect place to do some Christmas shopping.
Stacey Moutafis and Terry Kalaitzidis are the faces behind the recently re-launched market held at the picturesque Emerald Bank precinct, also home to MOVE: Museum of Vehicle Evolution. Stacey also works for GV Health and Terry for Ken Muston Automotive, which keeps them both very busy. They have experience as market stallholders themselves, with Terry’s family’s business giving them a wealth of experience in the market industry.
The venue can accommodate up to 100 stall holders and local creators, food growers, farmers and anyone else who has quality wares to sell are encouraged to apply to be a stallholder. Stacey and Terry believe in supporting our local community and welcome people from across the region and beyond to both visit the market and have a go at showcasing their products to shoppers.
The market has a large undercover area behind Milestone café & Bistro, with delicious food vans and some stalls located on the grassy area in front of the café. Farmers’ markets are considered an essential service, in the same category as supermarkets.
COVID protocols are adhered to and regular cleaning takes place.
The market currently is held every Sunday from 8:30am-1:30pm. Entry is a gold coin donation and there is ample parking, as well as ATM facilities. For stallholder enquiries, please call 0429 092 917.
