Maitland’s fresh food revolution is the culmination of a long journey that started in early 2016.

It has gradually transformed into a twice monthly market, which usually works out to fall fortnightly.

The market helps 14 producers, and a handful of backyard growers, to earn some money from the land.

There’s long-time farmers like Oakhampton’s Austin Breiner and East Maitland’s Matthew Dennis.

Then there’s those who are paving their own farming path after growing up in the city, like Tom Christie and Dominique Northam.
