CERES, in conjunction with the Garden
of Eden, is currently undertaking a feasibility study into
the creation of an Urban Orchard within the Brunswick and
Northcote region.
The Urban Orchard aims to promote the growing
and harvesting of fruit trees from homes within the area,
with the potential of distributing and sharing the produce
between the participating or donating/selling it to the CERES
Organic Market for sale on Saturday (amongst other possibilities.)
Why?
· To provide an opportunity for people to
utilise otherwise-wasted fruit and nuts
· To create friendships within the neighbourhood and
build stronger local communities
· To reduce green waste and pressure on landfill
· To provides healthy in-season food for the community
· To reduce the need to transport fruit from outside
the city / state / country! – less transport means less
fuel burned, hence reduced pollution and greenhouse gas emissions
The Urban Orchard hopes to provide
an opportunity for people to learn more about their fruit
trees, running courses on gardening and maintenance, or potentially
providing some hands-on assistance.

the Leader newspaper. |

| Every
Saturday and Wednesday morning, rain, hail or shine, for the past
four years CERES has been holding a vibrant community market. Located
in front of the animal stables, the focus of the market is very affordable
organic fruit, veg, dry goods, grocery items and sourdough organic
breads. You can also find stalls
selling hand-made clothing, natural soaps and skincare, flowers, jewellery,
pottery, woodcraft, massage, tarot and second-hand/recycled items.
This
ain’t no Saturday (Wednesday) morning at Safeway!
We’ll make you a fresh organic coffee to go with an incredible
organic pastry or a CERES Café muffin, while you listen to
some fine local music and your kids hang out with the lambs and chooks.

The
fruit and vegetables we sell are either grown in our own market
gardens here in Brunswick, or are bought direct from local
Victorian growers, like Ron, who grows incredible swiss brown
mushrooms. We always buy local first but when we can’t
find something we either do without or source it from wholesale
organic suppliers at Melbourne Markets. Everything we sell
is organic, and we sell everything from fresh vegetables,
fruit, herbs and famous CERES eggs, to breads from four different
organic bakeries, preserves and a wide range of grocery items.
We are also pioneering the Urban
Orchard Project, where excess fruit from local backyard
trees is traded, donated or given away one Saturday a month
at the Market.
The CERES Market provides local people with an affordable,
ethical and friendly way of doing business, both buying and
selling, within the village atmosphere of CERES. |

All
the info you need if you want to have a stall at CERES Market

mass-produced or imported items

Because of existing CERES Enterprises, stallholders cannot
sell food, fresh or cooked, or any plants. (If you have
certified organic produce or prepared food that you would
like to sell to CERES Market, please contact the market
co-ordinator on 9387 2609)
*
Packaging of stallholders products must be environmentally
friendly – recycled plastic bags are fine but no new
plastic bags please
*
Bring your own tables, umbrellas etc and take it all away
at the end of the day -sorry we cannot store anything on
site
*
You can unload gear directly from your car to your site,
but cars must be out of the market area by 8.30am. If you
do arrive late, just carry your gear down from the car park
*
You can book a particular site by paying for it a week in
advance, otherwise, sites are first in first served. If
you have problems finding a spot, please ask one of the
staff in the fruit and veg area
*
A stall costs $18 (or $13 concession cardholders /CERES
members) which will be collected from you during the morning |
