I was there this morning. There were a lot less stalls than I imagined. I was especially looking for tomatoes, but no have.

I bought eggs from free range chickens.

Thanks, Mole. I'll talk to Tanya about tomatoes (she's the lady in the 5th picture)....she's the one who gets me to post this here....:

Glad you made it out. It's supposed to be a continually running event, so hopefully it'll grow with more stalls/vendors and more folks coming out to support it.Thank you for your support!

Yes, I spoke to her.

My suggestion is that it's OK to get produce from elsewhere too, as long as they're organic of course.

Now that the durian season will be here in coming months, it may also be good idea to bring any special varieties of durian. I'm pretty sure that there will be people (such as me) who are willing to fork out some dosh to get some premium garden durian, or a taste of some obscure durian variety.

It would also be great if there would be a butcher stall with organic livestock or wildlife meat. I would gladly pay premium for local free range pork or chicken. You can for example vacuum pack them and put in a refrigerator in a stall.

Thanks Mole. I'll pass your suggestions along to her.
