I love to rise early on the weekends, get into my car and drive around the South Australian countryside.
I particularly enjoy the drive out towards the Barossa - destination -
Mt Pleasant Farmers Market. I can browse around for local produce, and get to mingle with the local community.
Not even an hour's drive from Adelaide, the markets are held weekly and is run and managed as a not for profit business by the local community. I really take in the atmosphere every time I visit, and the produce is fresh and direct.
The markets have been growing strong for two years, and on
Saturday the 8th of February will be celebrating their second birthday. There'll be cooking demonstrations, and live music as you walk around checking out lots of stalls and produce.
There's also entertainment for the kids with children's group
Circus Elements, and they can take part in a healthy food trail which is always lots of fun.
You'll find a selection of seafood, fresh flowers and seedlings, fresh fruit and vegetables, bread, baked goodies, meat, dairy, eggs, honey, olive oil, local farm produce, organic coffee, wine, beer, confectionary, home made cordial and ready made meals.
Why not take in breakfast at the markets, made with locally produced ingredients served with organic coffee.
There's parking on site so you don't have to walk far with all your yummy produce for a gold coin donation, that helps out local community groups.
After the markets you can head to the
Barossa Valley and take in the heritage by visiting many museums, old churches, historic cemeteries and natural wonders.
The Barossa Heritage Trail links many of these sites and is a key to unlocking the region's heritage secrets.
The
Barossa Reservoir is held back by the
Whispering Wall at
Williamstown. This local landmark got its name due to its amazing acoustics. A whisper from one end is clearly heard at the other more than 100 metres away. Try it yourself!
If it's a beautiful summer's day you can dive into the public pools in
Tanunda, Williamstown and Nuriootpa.
Older kids may be interested in some small wheel action at the
Nuriootpa Skate Park or the Williamstown BMX Track. If the whole family is keen for a longer ride, check out the
Barossa Bike Path or the famous
Mawson Trail.
So lock in the
8th of February 2014, enjoy the morning at the markets, and spend the rest of the day taking in the beautiful country in South Australia.
Happy 2nd birthday Mt Pleasant Farmers Markets!
