In 2009 Farmy began with an honest and simple philosophy: if you couldn’t eat it, drink it, grow it, or meet the producer, then you wouldn’t find it at Farmy. That ethos has always held true. Now, that little carpark farmers’ market that began with just 12 producers now hosts a street-side seasonal cast of over 200, and has grown into an essential Sunday ritual for locals. We’re also acknowledged as one of the top five farmers’ markets in the country. Tasmania’s distinct growing seasons make for an ever-changing array of cool climate produce – that’s what we celebrate every Sunday. Staying true to what’s in season locally is reflected throughout the market on fresh produce stalls, in artisan foods and on street food vendors menus. Nestled in a groovy alcove in the middle of Farmy you’ll find the Grub Hub. This is where it’s at on Sunday in Hobart for breakfast, a cheeky brunch or lazy lunch, with all the hustle, bustle and smells of a street food market. Each Sunday you’ll find ten rotating street food vendors dishing up international cuisines with a local twist. See you Sunday.

A Georgian supra is no ordinary dinner—it's a lively feast where toasts, songs, stories and laughter matter just as much as the food. "Supra" means tablecloth, and in Georgia any gathering around a table or picnic rug can turn into one. Long shared tables bring everyone close enough to toast, talk, and sing together. Every supra has a tamada—a quick-witted toastmaster who leads the toasts (and decides who gets to add one when someone calls "alaverdi!"). The toasts cover everything from friendship and family to music, love, and those who arent here anymore. And after every toast? A song, of course. At Cygnet, singers from three Melbourne Georgian ensembles—Melbourne Georgian Choir, Tsinskaro, and Gorani, performing together as Gaumarjos—will lead the songs. But anyone at the table is warmly invited to join in… as long as the tamada gives the nod! Georgian polyphony is ancient, bold and beautiful, filled with tight harmonies and delicious dissonance. Some of the songs come from Svaneti, once one of the most remote places on earth. At Cygnet, Gaumarjos will bring you welcome songs, table songs, love songs, wedding songs, work songs, church songs, harvest songs—and even a wild tale of a brave horse galloping all the way from Australia to Georgia.
