When did you discover Frenchs Forest Markets
I researched organic markets before we even moved to the Northern Beaches, so I would say about 5 years ago.
From shopper to stallie: was that a difficult transition
Hmmmmm...not really! I still did all my shopping, even when I was a stallie. There is such a great sense of community and camaraderie amongst the stallies and I loved being part of that!
Ask the Cappuccino Afloat crew if they miss our weekly dance sessions! Dancing to funky music towards the end of market day....GREAT FUN!
The masses obviously loved your fantastic gluten free goodies (ourselves included!). How long from start to finish would it take to prepare for market day
The would start at 4am with us packing the car to get to market. It required careful and strategic planning to fit it all in!
By the time we got back home and unpacked it would be around 3pm. So the whole day would amount to 11 hours!
Although now retired from a market life as a marketeer, you obviously still enjoy coming up and having a wander, buying organic goodies and catching up with people. What is it about these markets that attracts folk, from your point of view
I still really enjoy catching up with our stallie mates!
Can you sum up this infamous "vibe" of the Sunday Institution known as Frenchs Forest Markets
bet you didn't realise they had won had the Gourmet Gluten Free award!
TOLD you their products were yum, and we are thankful we got to sample and share before they became "citizens" once more!!

The vibe, the vibe, the vibe! It's SO much fun!
Amazing range of organic and interesting foods that you just can't get anywhere else. I've always loved going to these markets.
The feeling that even though you don't personally know the others shoppers, you are having a shared experience.
Plus I often just talk to random people about what we're buying...it's more like the European way of village living.

With that we thank the lovely Inge not only sharing some time with us, but giving us just that little bit more of an insight in to the stallie world as well as the shopper world at Frenchs Forest Markets!
