DELIGHTFUL BOOYEEMBARA OLIVE HARVEST
Close to one hundred people participated in the annual Fremantle Booyeembara Park olive harvest this Sunday, and what a lovely, relaxing community event it was.
Old and young, dogs and kids all had a really good morning collecting the olives, that will be pressed into olive oil in York this week.
And after all the work there was a picnic and social event in the afternoon.

FREO FARMERS MARKET BACK UNDER THE TREES
After a stint in the carpark, to let the grass regenerate, the Freo Farmers Market is back under the trees at Fremantle College on Lefroy Road.
The weekly market is on from 8am till midday, so go enjoy the great ambience, catch up with friends, make new friends and connect with the great Freo community.
Do your fruit&vegies shopping, buy bread, fish, eggs, etc. and have breakfast from one of the foodstalls, while relaxing to the tunes of local musicians.
It’s a glorious day and the Freo Farmers Market is the best place to spend a Sunday morning.

BRILLANT DAY FOR FREO’S SUNDAY MARKET
What a stunning day in Freo paradise it is!
I went to the Freo Farmers Market, that is now at Bruce Lee oval, because the Covid-19 health concerns forced it to move away from Fremantle College.
Farmers markets that were on school grounds all over Perth have been closed, so we are very lucky that Fremantle Council was flexible and allowed the popular market to move to the oval.
The FFM is open every Sunday of the year from 8am till noon, so go and support those traders who get up very early to offer us fresh produce.

WELCOME TO THE FREO FARMERS MARKET!
The Sunday Growers Green Farmers Market at Fremantle College on Lefroy Road will have a big name and brand change this weekend and will be known from then on as the FREO FARMERS MARKET, which makes a lot of sense.
Along with the name change there are new stalls starting up at the market and there will be a birthday marquee that can be reserved for celebrations with cakes ordered directly from the cake stall at the market. New picnic mats for breakfast goers, changes in the layout, and that the market will now be open every Sunday all year round. The regular break at Christmas time has been voted out by the farmers and foodies in favour of keeping the market open in order to supply locals with fruit, veg, eggs, breads, fish and meats over the holiday season. It is peak stone fruit time so being a seasonal market they need to take advantage of this time of year.
Freo Farmers Market gives a free stall every week to a Not-for-profit/ community groups and the phone has been running hot for Christmas market stall bookings. Stalls this Christmas season include Rocky Bay, Hilton Harvest, John Curtin Art Students, End Poverty charity in Nepal, with locals are keen to support their groups by volunteering to run stalls.
There are over 50 stalls every Sunday, including 7 Fruit and vegetable stalls, 15 breakfast stalls, 3 bread, 2 coffee and honey, seafood, organic meat, cakes, flowers, massage, artisans, dog food, tea, and the return of the hairdresser provide a shopping alternative away from the sterile supermarkets and support local business’s and families.
Cup stations, plastic free shopping and face to face chats with the farmers, creators and makers have created an atmosphere of a friendly, healthy and inclusive community that reflects the Freo spirit.
Children’s childhood memories are bright at Freo Farmers Market with activities such as Farmer Damian’s Moomobile, Ariane’s Craft workshops, and Ladybird Entertainment with Fairy Sandie’s face painting. Live music showcases some of Freo’s best talents, new talents.
See you at the FREO FARMERS MARKET this Sunday!

IS FORTNIGHTLY RUBBISH COLLECTION A GOOD IDEA?
The City of Fremantle will be rolling out its FOGO three-bin rubbish collection from July/August this year, when 13,000 households will be receiving the Food Organic Garden Organic bin in addition to the normal household rubbish bin and the recycling bin.
It is going to cost around $ 1.2 million.
The Town of East Fremantle will also be introducing the FOGO bins, and so do other councils around Perth.
But to save cost and not collect near empty bins the Town of Vincent, which has also embraced FOGO, has decided it will introduce fortnightly collection instead of weekly ones, and I wonder if Fremantle Council might be contemplating the same and what Freo residents would think about that. Any thoughts?
