FARM GATE MARKET - HOBART
|
Every Sunday, come rain hail or shine, a busy street in the heart of Hobart transforms into a bustling farmers’ market. It’s all about Tasmanian produce and getting to know your farmer, and it always has been. Five years back, the market began with an honest and simple philosophy that if you couldn’t eat it, drink it, grow it or meet the producer, then you wouldn’t find it at the market. That ethos has always held true. And now, the little farmers’ market that began with 12 stallholders has grown into an essential Sunday ritual for locals. It is one of the top five farmers’ markets in the country and won a silver medal at the 2015 Australian tourism awards for excellence In food tourism.
Find out more about Farm Gate Market or visit them at Bathurst Street, Hobart, between Murray and Elizabeth Streets open Sundays 8.30am – 1.00pm. |

LA CANTARA ARTISAN CHEESES
|
Genaro and Rosselyn Velasquez are two vets from Venezuela and today they operate La Cantara Artisan Cheeses in far north-west Tasmania. You can take a tour and taste the different varieties of cheese; you’ll also find them in specialty stores like Hill Street Grocer and at Salamanca Market, regularly bringing visitors from Venezuela to tears as they’re reminded of home. There’s even a rum-soaked cheese packed with character, and Smokey Cow with its ground pepper and paprika flavours of western Spain. Then there's the Café con Leche – anyone for cheese infused with exquisite Colombian coffee?
