2. The Tent of Falafels
Ah The Tent of Falafels, the team at Tent of Falafels have filled the falafel-shaped hole in our heart that we didn't even realise was there.
Their falafels are pillowy soft, matched with the freshness of local ingredients. They offer wraps or a bowl with vegan and gluten free friendly options.

3. Rollies Doughnuts
Rollies Doughnuts' tagline is 'Honest, handcrafted and delicious' and they've nailed the trifecta in our opinion. Their doughnuts are based on an old German recipe using a slow-rise artisan yeast dough and they are served fresh and hot.
They have 4 doughnuts on their menu - including the classic and the doughnuts holes, a dark chocolate strawberry and raspberry jam doughnut. We couldn't go past the classic so we're hanging out for their next market to try the dark chocolate strawberry doughnut.

Timmering is a small family-run farm in the heart of Timmering, Victoria. Here they carefully tend to their farm to ensure the freshness and flavour of their produce.
They craft small batches of preserves perfecting their products season after season. Despite doing small batches, their range is by no means small, ranging from chutneys and relish, to syrups and jellies.

8. Goldi
Goldi crafts their virgin olive oil on their family farm in Goulburn Valley, where they harvest and press olives each April to create fresh, flavourful olive oil.
For their lemon, lime, and chilli agrumato, they crush whole fresh seasonal produce with their olives to create true-to-fruit flavours that elevate any dish.
Goldi is not only committed to quality products, but also to sustainable farming. They use sheep to naturally manage weeds, return carbon to the soil by spreading excess olive pits and biochar, and utilise solar power to minimise the farm’s footprint.
