My Saturday Farmers Market, 15 mins from home. Its a local experience with the people who produce the food selling it to you. My favourite is Tom the Greek, I love the Brownies that his wife makes and in winter the home made soup stall always wins me over.

Shopping
Located up in the hills. About 40 mins from my home. The first Saturday of every month, a wide selection of hand crafted, local 'things' of good quality. The local pub is well known for its resident ghost and traditional hearty food. More of a local spot than touristy. Enjoy the view while you're up there.
