    This has got to be one of the best farmers' markets around (is it still the only organic farmers' market?). Buy direct from the growers. Great selection of seasonal veg and fruit. And Ripple farm's produce is wonderful because it's unwashed and the soil helps retain nutrients. Wonderfully friendly stallholders and customers create a great community feel.

    The place where I come to feel sane! I love how everything is organic, and sometimes biodynamic/Demeter. My favourite ritual is getting a flat white with raw milk from Kwame and a mushroom sandwich from William then sitting on a bench and building a list for my weekly shop. Highly, highly recommended.
