From the farmgate - Hunter Valley Bringing local produce information to you so you can buy direct and support farmers, or organise crop fundraisers for your school. Think global. Buy local

March 2016 saw a local farmer about to plow under his pumpkin crop because the cost to transport his crop to market was not worth the 25c he would be paid for each. So, Slow Food got together with Maitland Council and did a pop-up stall at The Levee in Maitland (Mall) and sold pumpkins to all who would come. People were really patient and bought hundreds of pumpkins. It also showed that there is a

need for people to know what is out there, where they can buy it and support local farmers. People want to, they just don't know where to go. So, here it is. I will list locals, where they are, what you can get. I will endeavour to organise it to places and seasons so that you know when and where you can get something. If someone has a glut...we can help them get it sold. If you know of someone or somewhere, please press the button and message me. I will try to get everything into an order that makes sense. Thanks for being so supportive. Our farmers and local producers need us just as much as we need them. If they don't have buyers, they stop producing. We then import more. If you have a glut of your own local produce in your own garden or things to swap, let me know that too (although that may even be another page). Have a great day! Now it goes without saying that we have a low tolerance level on this page of any type of abuse. We are here to find food at the farmgate and help ourselves and farmers. Any disrespectful communication will result in removal from the page. We are also not here for other businesses but only to offer support for Farmgate supplies, therefore any business advertising etc will be removed. There are heaps of local 'buy/swap/sell' sites on Facebook. Thanks for your understanding.
