Vegetables

Concern is mounting that new food safety regulations could put local vegetable growers out of business and bring about the end of the iconic SAGE Farmers Market in Moruya.

The NSW Food Authority recently released a draft of its new food regulations which will impact all vegetable growers, dairies, and egg, meat and seafood producers from February 2025.

The Tuesday Farmers Market has settled quietly into winter after the colour and abundance of autumn. Our winter market is smaller, softer, quieter. Shoppers amble in slowly without the summer rush to be in the queue by 3pm, and stall holders have more time to chat.
