Farmers markets online
Posted by Webmaster | Filed under News Bites
From: Sprout Winter 2011
Although it’s not quite the same as talking face-to-face with the producer, a new website supporting small producers from across Australia has launched. eFarmersMarket sells gourmet handcrafted food and drinks from regional areas including the Barossa, Hunter Valley, Margaret River, Northern Rivers and Sydney. Instead of scouring the country in search of the finest artisan food, from oils, vinegars and sauces to chocolate, tea and preserves, founder Carla Penn has done it already and handpicked every product on the site. Criteria include producers who source their ingredients locally, use sustainable practises in their production and have no additives, preservatives or flavourings.
The website also includes profiles of producers and details on their products and how they’re made.
