Kumbia farmer Richard Whitworth, from Richard’s Country Kitchen, uses his fresh vegetables to produce a wide range of chutneys and pickles for the Thursday Farmer’s Markets in Kingaroy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

August 25, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you have a backyard garden producing more fruit or vegetables than you need, Growing The Burnett would like to buy your surplus produce.<\/p>\n

The group operates the Thursday Farmer’s Markets in Kingaroy, and they desperately need more supplies of locally grown produce for the market’s customers.<\/p>\n

Growing The Burnett recently had to move from their former home at Red Earth Farm in Memerambi, and are currently seeking a new property in the region.<\/p>\n

The move meant they had to abandon their established vegetable gardens which supplied a lot of the market’s fresh vegetables.<\/p>\n

And because it’s still winter, their chances of replanting a new garden are limited for the next few months.<\/p>\n

But they’re unwilling to source fruit and vegetables from the Brisbane markets – partly because they don’t want to compete with local green grocers, and partly because the Thursday Markets are dedicated to fresh, locally grown produce.<\/p>\n

“We’re sure there are a lot of backyard growers around Kingaroy, Nanango, Wondai and Kumbia with over-productive fruit trees and vegetable gardens who’d like to see their produce go to people who appreciate it rather than be wasted,” GTB project manager Brian Jarvis said.<\/p>\n

“If they call me, we’d be happy to come out, pick up the produce and pay for it.”<\/p>\n

GTB is also willing to arrange swaps for home gardeners who don’t want to be paid in cash.<\/p>\n

“We’ve had a couple of people tell us they like the idea, but don’t want to get involved with cash because of all the paperwork,” Brian said.<\/p>\n

“In that case, we’d be happy to try to find fruits and vegetables they do need and do a swap.”<\/p>\n

Interested backyard growers can call Brian on 0417-756-528 for more details. <\/strong><\/p>\n
