The Bendigo Community Farmers’ Market operates the 2nd Saturday of each month, providing fresh, regional and seasonal produce to Bendigo in a friendly relaxed environment.

Regional food, wine, coffee, plants, breakfast stall, cooking sessions and music.

Local chef and Bendigo Wholefoods proprietor, Darren Murphy, will be cooking his award winning dish, Goats Cheese, Local Lamb and a Good Loaf at this month’s Bendigo Community Farmers Market. The dish won the ABC’s Australia Cooks competition this year for Central Victoria.

Murphy, who could himself be considered a bit of a dish, says that his creation represents Central Victoria, given the Loddon Valley is prime lamb producing territory. The ingredients are sourced locally and “deliver distinctive flavours unique to the region”, he says.

On Saturday, Murphy will be using Erindale lamb, Avondale Estate red wine, Holy Goat cheese, Golden Triangle tomatoes, local garlic, Pyramid smoked salt, The Good Loaf bread, Salute Oliva semi dried olives and olive oil and local herbs from B & B Basil. The recipe will be available in the Australia Cooks recipe book - coming soon - so get to the market for a sneak peek!

When: Every 2nd Saturday of the month from 9am - 1pm
Where: Sidney Myer Place (Rosalind Park end of Williamson Street)
