THE Shepparton Farmers’ and Specialty market will be operating on the fourth Saturday of each month, from 8:30am until 2:00pm at the Shepparton Show Grounds, with the first market being held on Saturday 24, April from 10am-6pm. Entry is a gold coin donation and there is limited onsite parking for $2 per vehicle.
Shopping can make you quite famished and there will thankfully be food trucks onsite to offer a variety of delicious lunch options to appease everyone’s taste so you don’t tuck into the fresh produce options you bought earlier.
Entertainment for the whole family is provided with music by Shepparton Brass & Wind Band as well as from other local artists and performers throughout the day.
Children will be delighted by Jamie’s Mobile Zoo Reptiles & Furry Friends operating onsite and everyone can enjoy fun workshops demonstrating pasta making (book in ahead of time to avoid missing out) and hoola hooping, just to name a few.
Various community and cultural groups will be in attendance, including the Shepparton Italian Social Club who will be roasting chestnuts, the RSL selling poppies, the Shepparton Animal rescue/rehoming team and Shepparton rescue service among others.
The Shepparton Farmers’ and Specialty market are proud to be fundraisers for ‘Kinds of Happiness Charity’, who provide support to regional and rural children from challenging backgrounds. Kinds of Happiness links in with farmers who teach children all there is to know about living off the land in order to sustain a living. They will have a stall selling their own grown produce and products.
All enquiries including stallholder information can be directed to Grace on 0430 062 854 or via email at shfm3585@gmail.com.
