A never-ending line of market-goers bought their groceries or artworks, listened to music, had a coffee or watched a celebrity chef in action at the first Cooroy Farmers and Artisans Market held on Saturday.
Local chef Matt Golinski picked up fresh fish and salad ingredients from local stallholders before cooking up an Asian fish salad in front of onlookers.
“This was five minutes walking around the market, putting everything on the table and sorting it out. That’s exactly how I like to shop,” he said.
Market organiser Danielle Taylor said the support from the community had been “fantastic”.
“There’s been thousands of people coming through. Some stalls sold out,” she said.
The rain kept away but grey skies and cooler weather made for a comfortable wander around the markets.
