First Proserpine Farmer’s Market Of The Year Coming Up

Come one, come all creative souls of Proserpine - the growers, the bakers, the potters and jam makers are all being invited to not only put up a stall at the Proserpine Farmers’ Market, but to come and peruse the fine wares.

Local food producers have been eagerly awaiting the first farmers’ market of the season, which will commence on Saturday March 19, starting at 8:00am until 12:00pm.

The markets are becoming familiar favourite for locals and will continue next weekend at their regular spot on 17 Chapman Street, Proserpine.

Now in their second year, organiser June Miller and her husband Steve Miller are ecstatic for their first market outing for 2022.

“We’re really excited, all the ladies of Proserpine have been baking chutneys and jams and biscuits. We have local produce from down in Bloomsbury like honeys, and it’s going to be such a fun little morning and it’s just a great little vibe – it’s so friendly,” Mr Miller said.

Mr Miller said that the idea of the market was that homemade, home baked, and home grown products were readily available for Proserpine locals.

“With Proserpine so malleable with its good soil, my wife said we should start it up, and it’s been fantastic to get that real community feel,” he said.

The markets are held right in the centre of town and are “perfect for people doing their daily walking circuits” so drop in and say hello.

The markets will be held on the first and third Saturday of each month throughout 2022.
