Market Blog
Katherine Community Market is based on the “Farmers’ market” model which is very popular in many rural and regional areas around Australia. Simply put, the market will enable you to buy directly from producers, many of whom are being squeezed by the unsustainable demands of large retailers and the unrelenting threat of cheap imports.
Whether you are a local or a visitor, we are hoping you will take time out to visit our markets and break from your normal shopping routine to try something different.
Use the Katherine Community Market chat across the stall table with the very people who have toiled to make the product, we think you’ll be astounded by how much more you can learn about your food when you have a chance to talk with professional producers.
As a further stimulus for the local community, the Katherine Regional Food Group will be making its commercially-approved kitchen facilities available to locals and small local enterprises to make their own products. Anything from a crate of ginger beer to a truck load of chutney is feasible, contact us today.
