Rose Street Pantry is off to Collingwood Farmers Market!

One of our favourite weekend treats! It’s the perfect place to shop organic and seasonally. Farmers Markets are an important link between producers and consumers – they offer an opportunity for consumers to meet the faces behind the products they love and a platform for them to inquire and learn about the foods they eat.

And while we are there – we’ll be chatting to father and son duo, John and Tony Dench. From their humble beginnings in North Fitzroy to a bakehouse that now supplies cafes, restaurants and independent grocers with handmade organic sourdough, pastries and cakes – Dench is a much-loved part of Melbourne’s inner north. Established in 2005, the bakehouse maintains a grassroots feel through prioritising quality over quantity, being acutely aware of where they source their grains and, of course, by maintaining a presence at farmers markets.
