Fashion and food come together this week at our beautiful EQ Market

Wednesday’s market is a fanfare of fashion and food. If you like to spoil yourself with a special little something to wear or nibble, you’ll find plenty to delight you today. Stop by the sustainably inspired Raw Essence for clothing made from natural fibres and accessories crafted from vintage spoons, coins, copper and brass. Dakota Tuff creates clothing using locally sourced fabrics in styles that embody a relaxed Australian aesthetic. There’s also market stalwart Venetia Elaine, as well as Kingsman Collection, Silk Route and Chia and Me. For pretty trinkets, Sydney designer Lindsay Lee crafts handmade jewellery using quality stones at her label, Alrok.

When it comes to matters of the stomach, you’re bound to find something to satisfy at one of the 15 food stalls that span all corners of the globe. Whether you have a hankering for Spanish paella, Ethiopian curry, French crepes, Israeli salads, Turkish gozleme, a pizza or a dumpling or five, you’ll find it at the EQ today. We’ll see you there!It’s getting colder and that can mean only one thing when it comes to your fruit bowl – citrus! Simon from Veggie King has the first of those waxy, dimply-skinned fruits this week with sweet new season mandarins. He also has plump and juicy red and black grapes, and good-for-you leafy greens of baby bok choy, English spinach, and rocket lettuce.

Pay some mind to your own wellbeing as we tumble head-first into the colder months with a stop at Kharma Hemp today. Their natural hemp is grown organically and biodynamically on a family farm in northern NSW and combined with sustainable, high-quality ingredients to make salves for what ails you. Helping with sleep, stress, muscle pain and general health, Kharma Hemp’s skincare products are balms for everyday life.

If you’re looking for a shortcut to dinnertime flavour, pay a visit to Naturally Sauced at the market this Wednesday. Their Pretty Miso product is an Asian-accented delight that can be lathered on pork chops, salmon, tofu, whisked into salad dressings or used to level-up coleslaw. An almost-secret alchemy of white miso, turmeric, carrot, apple, maple syrup and mustard, Pretty Miso is your antidote to the same boring old chops.

As always, we will be here for you at the EQ on Saturday for all your market requirements, be that a weekly grocery shop, some specialist pantry provisions, a pretty gift or just a coffee and croissant. And mark it in your diary, next Sunday we will be putting on a special Mother’s Day market, also at the EQ. So come along and find something special for your mum.
