I thought it would be neat to find out a little more about the other entrepreneural women I’ve met at various markets, who also started their own foodie business and sell their products at farmers markets around australia too. They have their own story to tell to inspire us all and create deliciously good products I’d love to share with you, including gourmet chocolates, belgian chocolate brownies,  homemade biscotti,...

mr relish and I packed up our tent, a few boxes of relish and jumped in the car for an adventure to the Wollombi Valley market during the Queens Birthday long weekend. Located at the Wollombi saleyards in the heart of the historic colonial village of Wollombi, it takes just over an hour or so from Sydney (just before Cessnock in the Hunter Valley wine region).
