At Dragi's stall, you'll find a huge array of delicious veggies including red oakleaf, cos and butter and generally all leafy greens!
Yes, we have a little bit of Macedonia in the Macedon Ranges! Meet Dragi, a
regular producer at the Riddells Creek Farmers Market, as well as at Lancefield,
Kyneton and Woodend.
At Dragi's stall, you'll find a huge array of delicious
veggies including red oakleaf, cos and butter and generally all leafy greens!
The produce is all hydroponically grown and the property has 1500 square metres
of greenhouse all producing delicious leafy greens all year round. The liquid
nutrients (no chemicals, just a mixture of minerals) are mixed in tanks of water
which circulate throughout the system.
Looking for a change, one more
familiar to their Macedonian background, Dragi and his family moved from Epping
to Diggers Rest and into agriculture. Five years ago they purchased the already
established farm and then moved into the farmers market arena. With three small
children, Dragi and his wife, with help sometimes from his mother-in law, run a
successful business selling freshly harvested salad and leafy greens and herbs
from the Riddells Creek market. You'll usually recognise Dragi wearing one of
his more spectacular hats at the stall, and always there with a smile and joke.
So next market, go along and meet the man producing the beautiful ingredients
for your next summer salad!
