Grown better, tastes better.

Let’s find our way back - to good food, to local growers, to each other.
It starts with one ridiculously good bite. The kind that rewires your brain, upgrades your fridge, and makes you text someone: “you coming too?”

That moment? That’s what we do.

We pop up with free snacks, serve up unforgettable tastes, and turn your neighbourhood market into something better than a routine - a ritual.

FLAVOUR HARVEST 2025

First bite’s free.

Meet us at the market. We’ll be the ones handing out snacks.

We’re spotlighting the unsung legends behind your produce - the growers doing it right.
Then we build simple, mouthwatering bites using their ingredients so you can taste what happens when food is grown in living soil.
Stick around, snack boldly, and maybe chat with the human behind your hummus.
Every week, it’s a new bite, a recipe you can actually make, and a small reminder that food can be more than fuel - it can be connection.
It’s all happening at the market. And yeah - it’s free.

WHAT'S ON THE MENU

Feast your ears.

Start with a chef-made bite that's almost too good to be true. It’s all market-fresh, seasonal, and sourced right from the vendors around you.Then pop on some headphones and tune in.
