The stars of the spring season are making an appearance at Albany Farmers Market<br />
this month. Asparagus is always highly anticipated and is at its peak through <strong>October</strong><br />
and November. You’ll find a choice of asparagus spears in different sizes at the Mount<br />
Serenity and Mostert’s Fresh Veggies stalls.<br />
Potatoes and asparagus are a classic combination, and the popular Norland potato is<br />
now available at the Bathgate Farm stall. It’s a heritage variety that is low in starch with<br />
excellent flavour, and ideal for boiling, microwaving or steaming, and great in salads.<br />
December, including blueberries, cherries and stone fruits.<br />
Add some spring produce to your market shopping along with the fantastic range of<br />
produce available year-round including milk, yoghurt, bread, lamb, fish, chicken, lots of<br />
fruit and veggies and more. Shop locally, enjoy the freshness of seasonal produce and<br />
get to know the people who grow your food at Albany Farmers Market.<br />

The velvety crunch of Macadamias is one of the pleasures of the season. Pick some up<br />
at the Bornholm Growers stall, where everything is grown, harvested and packed by<br />
Jeni and her family at their local farm.<br />
Strawberries are plentiful this time of year and the Handasyde’s stall draws a crowd<br />
eager for their delicious conventional and organically grown strawberries.<br />
There’s lots of new spring fare at Feltons Farms stall, including snow peas, sugar snap<br />
peas, broad beans, courgettes and zucchini.<br />

covered with a big range, including heritage tomato varieties, so you can grow your own.<br />
