A new market
If you live out Rouse Hill way, check out the Hawkesbury Harvest Farmers Market at the very pleasing new Lend Lease development, the Rouse Hill Town Centre. It’s a purpose-built market in the forecourt of the Town Centre running at the moment once a month (the fourth Saturday) and attracting more than 50 stallholders including many local farmers and producers. It’s by far the best-looking market in Sydney and with Hawkesbury Harvest running it, it’s sure to be a success — and a proper farmers’ market (run by and for the farmers). The Town Centre is an interesting development — the shopping mall of the future. It’s single-storeyed, open to the elements and has residential mixed in with the commercial. I really hate shopping malls, but felt comfortable with this one. Check out the details at www.hawkesburyharvest.com.au
