Margaret River Farmer's Market

One massive 'pro' of living where we live is that three hours drive down the coast brings you to the beautiful wine region of Margaret River. Famous for it's world class vineyards and spectacular surf coast, the little town has a reputation. You can expect to spend an entire weekend wine tasting and enjoying the scenery. But there are a few other draw cards that this humble destination has under it's belt and one in particular speaks to the foodie in me!

That's the Margaret River Farmer's Market! Held every Saturday, it boasts an impressive array of locally produced or grown yummies - you will find everything from olive oils, jams, fresh produce, gourmet ice blocks and baked goods.

On this day, I stumbled across Bahen & Co.
Local chocolatier Josh Bahen runs his stall peddling his amazing range of chocolates made 'the old fashioned way' but presented in a very modern, very beautiful form. The packaging alone is enough to make you want to buy up the whole store but then you taste it and you have two very good reasons to walk away with bags full! Josh, along with his wife Jacq have taken special care to bring to life the ancient methods of creating this delicious favourite. The result is a fresh take on an old classic with clean, rich flavours. They simply let the product do the talking.
