WHY the Farmers Market at EPIC IS NOT ON AGAIN THIS WEEKEND...

Felicity Kendal is sweetly pretty, just what a real girly should be.

I mean – speaking as a Feminist myself – I can safely say this; that Felicity Kendal is a wonderful woman, and I want to protect her.

HAHA! I was thinking the same thing when I saw her name pop up in this thread! 🙂

P.S. ‘Well it’s the first time I’ve ever heard it called that!’

Surely there’s other locations around town that could host the farmer’s market temporarily other than EPIC?

Pretty sure I attended my first and only farmer’s market somewhere in Woden. Where I decided that even though they had cut out the middlemen, for some reason their produce was still more expensive than what I paid in stores. Or at roadside stalls on the highway.

Heck, you could even run it on a vacant carpark somewhere at a stretch couldn’t you? (assuming you arranged the necessary permits).

Reincarnations of Felicity Kendal in gumboots circa The Good Life should always be welcome.

The best of what rural producers have is on show but we don’t have any actual produce to buy?

Instead of whining on RiotACT, you could try selling the produce in showbags next year. You charge double the normal prices for them, and give people half as much! But a bag of fruit and veg will probably make you VERY unpopular with the kids …

Whinger! Go to the supermarket. Or Organic Energy at the Griffith Shops if you like to pay a premium.

Judging by his/her user name, bywongqueen is a female. Females are well known for their multitasking capabilities. Common sense dictates that the two events could easily be run at EPIC concurrently.
Calling someone a whinger in this case is pretty piss poor.

I actually don’t want faux-farm-grown-lemon stands, busking toddlers, value-add lavender sachets from five acres at Bywong, $20 marmalade, $30 a kilo local olives, and attendant hipster trendoid reincarnations of Felicity Kendal in gumboots, in the same space as the Royal Canberra. Give us a break from your produce!!!! Give us a break from your pretensions!!! There is nothing special about you!!! Now, which lady in a floral frock is sporting the blue ribbon for sponge trifle?

Somebody made a comment, you made a comment, I commented on your comment.
What I don’t understand is why you are foaming at the mouth about an event you obviously care very little about?

So the Show caught you by surprise heh? Yep that will happen. They should advertise that bad boy somewhre so people know. Otherwise apparently our entire agricultural industry will collapse and people will start dying in the street.

The farmers are busy…coveting their neighbours’ pigs.
