Home delivery & Market delivery
Farmers’ Markets have developed within our communities with regular markets building the relationships between the Consumer and the Farmer. The chance to meet, learn their story and commitment to the produce and the soil and water they manage to produce it. Not to forget the preparation tips and recipes that they make available.
The current CoVid-19 virus, with the forced temporary closure of many markets, has seen the development of the relationship to include home delivery and in some markets a group home delivery where you can order the produce from more than one farmer and have it packed and at your door in one delivery (1 delivery charge).
Looking at the Sydney markets the likes of The Market Drop and Lucy, Paul & Zoe The work is undertaken by the stallholders themselves adding a certain surety to product quality & service.
Will it ever replace the actual markets? – not a chance; the markets are where relationships are built and understanding and respect for their contribution to our health and wellbeing are appreciated. They will however have a future, just like the online order and home delivery service offered by the Supermarkets. It is handy if regular attendance to the markets cannot be assured – personal commitments, weather – hopefully no more pandemics
