🍒 First cherries of the season land this Saturday!

This week we visited Wasem Ali and his family at Drive In Orchards in Young, and it’s visits like these that make our market so special.

We get out to the farms to meet our farmers on their own land. It lets us verify that the food you buy is grown by the person you’re buying it from, and it gives us time to catch up in a more relaxed setting than a busy market morning. We hear what’s happening, what challenges they’re facing and what the season ahead looks like.

Wasem and his family have been with us since our very first year, so this Saturday marks their 22nd season at CRFM. 👏

The first cherries (these very ones we filmed!) will be picked on Friday and will be at Drive In Orchards on Saturday, with Wasem’s son Mohammed on the stall. Picked one day, in your bag the next. You can’t get fresher than that.

🍒 Saturday, 7:00am–11:30am, EPIC

And save the date for 21 November 2026 when we’ll officially celebrate the start of Cherry Season and National Agriculture Day!

You can feel the shift in seasons at the market at the moment. We're seeing the return of familiar faces and watching the produce shift from Winter warmers to the colours and flavours of Spring.

Here's what you'll find at the markets this October:

Asparagus: Canberra's spring favourite. Snap off the woody ends, roast with olive oil and finish with a squeeze of lemon and some shaved parmesan.

Artichokes: They look intimidating but are easy to cook. Steam them whole and pull off the leaves to dip in garlic butter.

Broad beans: Double-podding is worth the effort. Smash them onto toast with feta, mint and lemon.

Snow peas: Sweet and crunchy, great raw in a salad or tossed through a stir-fry for the last minute of cooking.

Asian greens: Bok choy, choy sum and friends. A quick stir-fry with garlic, ginger and oyster sauce makes a side dish in five minutes.

Lettuce: Crisp spring lettuces are back, just in time for longer, warmer evenings.

Radishes: Peppery and colourful. Slice them thinly into salads, or try them the French way, with good butter and sea salt.

Rhubarb and strawberries: Spring's best double act. Stew them together for a crumble, or spoon over yoghurt for breakfast.

Oranges: The last of the sweet citrus. Juice them, slice them into a salad with radish and fennel, or keep a bowl on the bench for snacking.
