New Face at the Markets
The Boyanup and Districts Farmers’ Market is proud to announce the
appointment of Terry Wooltorton as its new market
manager.
Terry brings to the Market considerable
organisational skills from his background in education and also a
keen interest in what is the Market ethos: sustainability and fresh
food.
His interest in fresh food has led him to not only
have his own organic garden but also to be an active member of the
newly formed Bunbury Community Garden.
Terry said “I am currently working to transform my
suburban backyard into a productive fruit and vegetable garden and
to retrofit our house to minimize energy and water use.“
As well as teaching in the South West and the
Kimberley, Terry also spent two years living and working in
Cambodia on sustainable livelihoods, human rights, food
security, ecotourism and water and sanitation projects.
Terry is a long term resident of the district
having lived in Stratham for 23 years and now a resident of
Bunbury. He is married with 2 adult sons.
A registered Building Sustainability Assessor and
Environment and Sustainability Consultant, Terry also lectures part
time at Edith Cowan University and also is completing a degree in
Environmental Management.
The next Boyanup and Districts Farmers market will
be held on March 28 and this will be a great opportunity for
vendors and customers to meet Terry and to make suggestions for the
market’s progress.
The markets are held all year round with the market
bell ringing at 8 am to signal the beginning of trading, and
ringing again at 12 noon to conclude trading.
“At some markets some stalls being sell out early,
so it is a good idea to get there as early as possible,” said Mr
McClare, Chairman of the Management Committee.
Products sold at the markets include grass fed lamb
and beef , seafood, free range eggs, a great range of seasonal
fruit and vegetables, including stone fruit, local cheese and olive
products, baked goods, preserves to name but a few of the many
different products.
