Huskisson Markets: 2nd Sunday of the month — Local services in Huskisson

I hit the regional market trifecta with three different markets in Milton, Ulladulla and Huskisson, all taking place on the June long weekend. Milton Markets, held at the showground, was probably the best for food and friendly atmosphere. We added a brown bag of large clove Australian garlic from Garlic at Bawley; two jars of ripper smoked and spiced olives by Kevally Olives; Volunteer’s blackberry jam; and Amber Party’s ginger biscuits to our local produce haul. I skipped past Lagom Bakery only because I intended to visit it for breakfast the next day. As I was coming directly from breakfast at Milk Haus, I also reluctantly passed up trying Cowra lamb spring rolls at Gung’s Thai Kitchen.

The next market I visited was the Ulladulla Marine Rescue Market, down on the wharf at Ulladulla. White Feather Designs was the standout here, with Pat’s Smoked Tomato Relish making its way into my shopping basket. Teamed with roast beef, cheese and rocket on a Lagom Bakery Turkish roll, it made for a mighty fine lunch the next day.

Finally, at Huskisson Markets we walked around the sports field (including through the goalpost) with a Hold Fast Distillery G+T. This inclined us to go back to buy their Sea Breeze Gin ($70/500ml). Its finishing note is saltbush, harvested in Braidwood where the distillery is located. There’s also lifted citrus. Unpasteurised brown rice miso from Enokido Miso also joined our South Coast haul, along with Bracko’s Biltong & Droëwors excellent traditional biltong. There’s a lot of crossover between the food stalls at Milton and Huskisson markets, so many of the items I mentioned in the first paragraph were also available...

Not hard to find - head for Husky Sportsground and look out for the big Ferris Wheel and hundreds of cars!! People don't stay long but it could be a problem finding a parking space. Heaps of stalls but we went on a really windy day so only half of the stalls were open. Lotsa families, dogs, mums n dads, young n old. Scary rides, healthy and not-so-healthy but yummy food to eat, craft, fruit n vegetables. Well worth a visit on a Sunday (which one I'm...

A nice country style market that has local craftsmanship and goods. Worth the stop. It has felt the sting of the pandemic in recent months. Only complaint is nearly all the vendors we wished to purchase from were cash only, and perhaps didn't get the memo it's 2021 and a pandemic. A little surley when asked if cash only, maybe in a last ditch effort to push back on their purchase of an eftos machine in this...
