Emma from Mogendoura Farm

Meet Emma from Mogendoura Farm. Emma sells her beef products Belted Galloway cattle every Tuesday at Moruya Farmers Market.

We especially like the fact that the sausages they make are salt-free. They're delicious!

Meet Esmay and Emil Hropic, fisherpeople, at Moruya Farmers' Market

On Tuesday afternoons we like to go to Moruya Farmers' Market to buy fresh produce, and we get our fish from Esmay and Emil. It's all locally caught. 

The sign says that Esmay is a proud professional fisher endorsed to fish in the NSW Estuary General and Open Prawn Trawl fisheries. She is a steward of the marine environment where she works, and she practices and embraces environmental fishing methods.                            Emil is a 7th generation professional fisher, similarly endorsed, and is passionate about providing the community with access to local seafood in a responsible and sustainable manner.

Sue's old sewing box

 I couldn't resist the charms of Sue's sewing box. It is so pretty. Sue is the wife of the market-holder from whom I bought it.

He wasn't sure whether she has made it herself. I haven't seen one of these for many years. For decades I have had buttons in and old jar, kept in the cupboard above the stove.

I think those buttons have found a new home.

When we were little my sister and I used to love playing with Mum's button jar. They used to get sorted by colour and size and other combinations. Perhaps that is why I became a librarian? I know it contributed to the sifting and sorting sort of person I am!

Aileen Maloney, linocut artist at Moruya Markets

Aileen makes beautiful linocuts, which she sells at Moruya Markets. 

The markets are held every Saturday from 7:30am to 12:30pm. Lots of local artists and artisans display and sell their wares. 

Across the river

Moruya market from the northern bank of the river. The market is nestled under the flowering ornamental pear trees. It's spring time!

Spring blossoms at Moruya market

Every Saturday there is a market at Moruya Riverside Park (same location as the Tuesday farmers' market). The stalls are interspersed between the trees which are now blossoming. I think the trees are ornamental pears.
