It is quintessential December small-talk. Whether you’re waiting in line for your morning latte, standing by while a pimple-faced teen awkwardly wraps that gift you’re obliged to buy for your inappropriate uncle, or while you silently seeth at being caught in the canteen line with that annoying co-worker you will invariably hear some variation on: “Oh my goodness can you believe it is December already, doesn’t time fly?”. At about which point skipping the canteen lunch seems most preferable.
Well, fear not dear patron because you’ll hear none of that nonsense from us. With the biggest Harvest Market of the year upon us and dialled up to 11 we’re far to busy for the inane. We are solely focused on bringing you the very finest Tasmania has to offer for your Christmas table.
What is really frothing our ‘nog though, is that it is less than a week until our annual Christmas Night Market! On Wednesday the 22nd of December from 6.30 pm we will transform our dull car park into a vibrant, bustling celebration of year’s end. Your final opportunity to stock up on treats, gifts, booze and ingredients for the holiday period. Don’t be caught short, come along and celebrate the final Harvest of 2021 with us.
If you’re a little shy on inspiration, keep an eye out for the recipes this week. We’ll be posting some tips, tricks and variations for your ham glaze. And after a wildly successful and tremendous cooking demonstration with Tamar Valley Truffles, we will share with you the Truffle ThreeCheeseburger recipe, which while not classically Christmas themed, is certain to blow your guests away with flavour and luxury. Or if you really can’t be bothered, how about picking up a Harvest Gift Voucher for your friends or fam bam?
The Stallholder list is exceptional this week, with our seasonal producers in full flight, truffles making a cheeky out-of-season cameo, a full complement of flower growers and a battery of distillers, eggs, condiments, seedlings and sweet treats, if you can’t find enough for a Christmas feast amongst all this, not even Santa himself could help you.
The SOMA stage will be bought to life by Lilly Sideris and Willy Post, and we promise it will be free from Christmas carols, we all get more than enough Mariah and Sammy Davis elsewhere, thanks very much.
