to market. to market.





On Saturday Baxter went to the Farmers Market in Foster with homegrown lemons, rosemary and my very first ever Autumn Corn Relish. He took his proceeds to the Tractor Shop yesterday to buy a little somethin. Jackie was wonderful to include us in her stall and we had a lovely time meeting new people and visiting.  We would really love to take some farm fresh "bath milk" to sell one day with some biodynamic free range eggs.  We are hoping to do that next spring. Got any tips? Do you think it would be well received? Know of anybody doing that?

Sounds great Amy! Don't know of anyone doing that so I think it will be well received. Foster farmers market is great isn't it? And Jackie's a gem. Love the labels of your corn relish, did you make them yourself?

Go Baxter, how exciting having some money to spend! Your corn relish jars look great Amy. Do you mind me asking "what is bath milk?" Keep up the good work Baxter love Aunty Kate.

You need to talk to kate and brendon at dalesford organics. They would be my first port of call.

HI Amy, We sell our fruit trees at markets in Winter and have seen two different people selling 'bath milk'. They had what looked like a refridgerated tank on the back of a trailer with a hose coming out and turned the hose on. That was one bloke. I think the other had them pre bottled in a refridgerated van. very very popular becase you can't beat unhomongenised milk...to ummm bathe in- of course (??!!)

Hi Amy,

We have a local farmer here in Hobart who did bath milk as well - but TRUE bath milk - as in to bath in... Have not seen it around for a few years now - What ever I think this will go down SUPER well at a Farmers market if no one else is in the market!

I am impressed with your label as well.

Hi Amy, Your corn relish looks great, just been talking to Pam she is making green tomato chutney an old receipe of Great Nana's. What fun Baxter to spend your money after the Farmers' Market. Good luck with your bath milk.

Corn relish looks great and if by bath milk you mean bathing in my mouth raw then you can buy it here in SA and it goes a roaring trade with us whole fooders. Get in there I reckon. We get it in glass bottles that we return. So yum and makes great kefir and yogurt. good luck!
