Creatures great and small
JONSSON’S Farm Market is launching its first-ever monthly market day this Saturday, June 28, with family fun, farm animals, face painting and food tastings from 9am to 4pm to celebrate the start of school holidays.
Children can cuddle furry friends from Old Macdonald’s Travelling Farm and enjoy free face painting from 10am to 2pm. Meanwhile, food lovers can sample local favourites including Mungalli Creek, Kuranda Cookies, Jamie’s Sauces and Jonsson’s own gourmet sausages, all highlighting the rich produce of Far North Queensland.
The Stratford-based store, founded by fourth-generation farmers Warren and Gail Jonsson, has long championed a paddock-to-plate philosophy and strong community ties.
Now, it’s taking that connection a step further by introducing monthly market days on the last Saturday of each month, each featuring fresh food experiences and family-friendly entertainment.
“We’re proud to support local farmers and bring the best of the region’s produce to Cairns,” said store manager David Harris.
“Our new monthly market days are a celebration of that and a chance to connect with the community, enjoy great food, and have a bit of fun while doing it,” he said.
Located at 31 Johnston Street, Jonsson’s Farm Market is open daily from 6am to 6pm, with undercover parking and a 4.2-star rating from over 600 online reviews, a reflection of its friendly service and commitment to local values.
Saturday’s event promises something for everyone.
