Moggill
is an ideal location for a Farmers Market. It is some distance away from
the city and other established markets, providing a delightful
rural environment.
The concept was to create an exciting food market which
allow farmers and local producers
to showcase their wares. This has grown from a small
beginning, to a very successful market wth an extensive range of food
products
and the vegetables you buy lasting until the next market and longer.
A quality
Market with prices to suit every budget.
People
are turning away from supermarkets, a growing international trend. People
want to connect with those who create and grow the food they want
to eat.
They are also concerned about sustainability,
and a wish to reduce their
food miles. Here shoppers have developed a rapport with their favourite
stallholders, and are able to discuss a common interest in the food
presented.
You wont find a more sociable
scene than the market at Moggill, with famillies and friends making this
their social outing. Don't take our word for it, come and see
yourself. We have created a relaxed
atmosphere and
have provided over a dozen gazebos with chairs so that you can shop without
rushing.
The Moggill Markets
started in January 2009 it is now a not for profit organisation Moggill
Markets Inc.
The
funds from the market also help to pay for the Chaplaincy in
the school. Currently the Government
provides limited funding for Chaplaincy services, which provides for the emotional
needs of the children and their families.
We
are also supporting the 139 Club in Fortitude Valley who feed the
homeless. This way they can ensure that these people are fed
nutritiousfood.
