Market
Subi Farmers Market is a thriving hub of local producers every Saturday. Sloane Carvell (and Chorizo the sausage dog) went along to try some of the fare on offer.

SUBIACO: EAT DRINK SHOP
fresh FARMERS MARKETS ARE special places in communities. They provide a place for farmers and food producers to sell farm-to-fork directly to customers. It supports the economy of local communities as well as educating customers with most stall holders and farmers able to discuss produce, how its grown and its preparation. Produce is typically seasonal and organic, supporting our health. They are also always a great place to meet and chat with members of the community, as I discovered one sunny Saturday recently. The Subi Farmers Market is held every Saturday morning and has temporarily moved from Subiaco Primary School to the Earthwise Community Centre while the school
undergoes some renovations. Market manager Anna Capelletta tells me that all stallholders, growers, or makers must be from WA to ensure all produce and items support local organisations, and the market donates regularly to Subiaco Primary School in its support of the community. With fresh eggs, bread, butter, fruit and vegetables, meats, and fish, you can fill your basket with seasonal produce, straight from the producers. Four-legged friends are also welcome – a big plus for Chorizo and I. The Little Big Store The Little Big Store works with Western Australian biodynamic and organic farmers to source the freshest seasonal produce for you
