Maitalnd's earth market farmers nowhere near creeks with PFAS

Slow Food Hunter Valley leader Amorelle Dempster has confirmed that the farmers who come to the market do not produce food along Stony Creek, Fishery Creek or Wallis Creek. 

The confirmation comes after the NSW Environment Protection Authority issued a public warning to residents last week which said not to eat eggs and meat, or drink milk, from animals that have had access to water from those creeks.

Broccoli salad:

Alina Mackee from The Cunning Culinarian will be demonstrating how to make a broccoli salad at the earth market on Thursday.

The demonstration will be recorded live at 2pm and available to view on the Mercury’s Facebook page. 

Takeaway lunch, or dinner:

Slow Food will have vegetable and lentil soup on offer in return for a $10 donation. 

Scoop up a fresh food box:

Shoppers who want to order a $35 fresh food box, which contains a mixture of seasonal vegetables suitable for a family of four, must submit their order by 6pm on Tuesday, June 5, online at www.trybooking.com/book/event?eid=388951.

Shoppers can choose to add eggs, olive oil and bakery goods to their order at an additional cost.

The box will include seasonal recipes and information about food history and food waste. 

The boxes must be picked up from the marquee alongside the Slow Food Hunter Valley stall at the post office end of The Levee between 3pm and 6pm.
