The arrival of the Finders Keepers markets is always a great permission slip to browse like hell and fill your shopping bags with excellent independent design. With the relocation and expansion of this ultra-popular event to Australian Technology Park, it means the crafted approach you see applied to homewares, fashion and stationery is now extended to food – Farmer’s Lane will be debuting at this fair.

ROBOT-TEA

As someone whose snooze button often wins out over early morning market-visiting intentions, Farmer’s Lane offers some hope to us sleepyheads, but it’s also a plus for anyone with a functioning appetite. Curated by Kate Walsh of Real Food Projects, the line-up of stallholders is excellent: it includes local green-tea-maker Perfect South (responsible for many much-enjoyed genmaicha brews in this household); the queue-justifying baked goods of Black Star Pastry*; pickles, jams, relishes and house-made cheese from the excellent and also queue-worthy Cornersmith; Petty Cash cafe will be presenting its pantry-courting condiments for the first time, including harrissa, relishes and garlic paste, friands, cakes, muesli and even “honey from our own beehives!”; plus, there’s the marshmallow haul of Sweetness The Patisserie, Simon Said fine foods; hand-crafted gelato by sixth-generation dairy farmers The Pines Kiama and more. Several food trucks will make a cameo, too.

So jot down Friday May 31 and June 1 in your diaries, and enjoy the overload of great food stallholders at the next Finders Keepers markets.

*sadly, Black Star Pastry has recently pulled out of the event, but there are still many excellent reasons to attend

Farmer’s Lane, Friday May 31, 6pm-10pm; Saturday June 1, 10am-5pm; The Finders Keepers markets, Australian Technology Park, Exhibition Hall, Locomotive St, Eveleigh NSW (enter via Henderson street), www.thefinderskeepers.com/sydney_markets.php

About

Hi, I'm Lee Tran Lam. When not blogging with my mouth full, I'm usually writing, presenting Local Fidelity on FBi radio, making zines, producing podcasts or continually breaking promises about how I really am gonna get through my book pile one day.

All the good pictures on this blog are by photography ace (and patient boyfriend), Will Reichelt, (all the dodgy ones can be credited to me)!

The lovely banner is by friend and ultra-talented illustrator Grace Lee.

This site redesign was made possible by the next-level generosity and expertise of Daniel Boud, whose code-tinkering ways are only outranked by his seriously inspired way with a camera.

You can read more about my co-conspirators here.

This is a blog I do for pure fun and zero influence – there's no sponsorship, sneaky advertorial or advertising. I pay for all the food mentioned, 'cos it seems the ethical thing to do.
