25 July 2025 Maroochydore: A Visit to the Local Community Garden and to The Station Market

 


There is a community garden right in town, Urban Farm.  We stopped by and ordered a box of fresh produce.  The gardens looked so good that Leslie even volunteered to do some gardening.  Earlier Leslie discovered "The Station," in one of the local periodicals.  It is a huge market that features local producers of a plethora of products, from mushrooms to hot sauce, to organic meats, to herbal teas, to honey, to craft gins, to dumplings, to jerky, to fancy vinegars.  We liked it so much we bought some of everything.  Then we took the bus home.  It was a bit rough and we bounced around inside the bus but we were mostly intact when we got back to Maroochydore.

Fantastic mushrooms


One meaty chicken pie

Lots of heat in this hot sauce


A wide variety to herbal teas.  We had to buy some


So many bees!
