While the beloved Farmers’ Markets in Parramatta have had to go on hold, these businesses from the markets are delivering now. Supporting local, artisan businesses has never been easier!
Summerland Honey
Joyce and Greg of Summerland Honey are regulars at the Parramatta Farmers’ Markets supplying a range of honeys from the local region and beyond - as the bees get moved at different times of the year. Their liquid gold includes specialist honeys such as White Stringy Bark, Mallee and Yellow Box (and they sell beeswax, too). If you think honey is just honey – now’s the time to be proven wrong…

On Ya Gnocchi
If you’ve ever tried to make gnocchi at home you’ll know what skill is required! Fresh gnocchi, however, is one of life’s great joys whether it be rich with gorgonzola cream sauce or light and bright with fresh tomato and basil. Paolo Cardile, who calls himself “Nonna’s Protégé”, produces by hand some of the most pillowy gnocchi you can comfort yourself with at home. Best-sellers include the superb handmade classic potato gnocchi, but he doesn’t limit himself to this alone and the beef lasagne also flies out the door.
