Our Story
Our Founder, Heidi Hunt, got her first taste of "the market life" after she started the High Wycombe Community Market in Perth, Western Australia. Watching families return week after week to purchase fresh produce and other wares from their community members brought a certain satisfaction to her that she has not been able to duplicate since. When she got her app developers license, it made perfect sense for her to create a platform that lets everyone keep a farmers' market on their phone. Now, anyone can make a living by providing their community with food using the Backyard Gardener App.
New High Wycombe Farmer’s Market coming in May
The High Wycombe Farmers Market will be located at 58 Cyril Road and feature both indoor and outdoor stalls selling goods and wares. Set up by Heidi Hunt, the market will run every Sunday from 8am to noon.
“The market is a rain or shine event that will continue through 2016 to 2017,” she said.
“It is more than a farmers’ market, it will also be a community market.”
Farmers markets are a part of modern living, where people can buy fresh food from growers.
Ms Hunt said that there was a growing consumer interest in sourcing fresh produce directly from the grower.
“Taste the difference in farm fresh produce,” she said.
Ms Hunt said she was sourcing the fresh fruit and vegetable produce from grower Nat Audino, of Audino Growers, who had 30 years experience in wholesale and retail products.
Ms. Hunt said shopping at a farmers’ market was a also great way to help the environment.
