Your Local Markets' Objectives

Our Objectives

Our objectives in relation to all of our markets are:

  1. To bring local, authentic and sustainable products to consumers in public spaces.
  2. To facilitate connections between consumers, producers and the community.
  3. To educate consumers about the origins of products and to facilitate an appreciation of uniquely grown, designed or hand-made products.
  4. To educate consumers about sustainability, recycled products and the true cost of imported goods.
  5. To provide a forum for the sale of organic, recycled or environmentally friendly products.
  6. To be an active participant in and work towards the betterment of the local community in which we operate, including by providing stalls free of charge to charities or community groups.

(“Producers” includes primary producers, those who make, prepare or produce food, or anyone who produces and sells anything sold at Your Local Markets Artisans’ Market.)

We probably spend as much time chatting as shopping, but it’s become part of our weekly ritual. The atmosphere is friendly & welcoming, for all ages & this is obviously genuine, not contrived.
