Yesterday we visited Bowral Farmers Market. It is a great little market for fresh vegetables, breads, local cheese, organic meats and a few smoked goods. The exciting find for me were the Heirloom Tomatoes. I have seen them used on TV and had them in restaurants but I have never been able to find them locally, they don’t seem to appear in the supermarkets. When we bought them we were told most are sent up to Queensland as there is greater demand.

As you will see from the photo the quality is not 100%, but as I haven’t come across them locally, I wanted to try them out. I have enjoyed the many different flavours and textures, we have decided next season we will be growing the Heirloom variety in the veggie patch.

Bowral Farmers Market is moving to the Moss Vale Showground and is held on the 2nd Saturday of each month from 8am to 1pm. If in the area it is worth a visit, you may just find a little gem.
