Round up your baskets and empty eskies and prepare for a Sunday morning market adventure, because the farm gates will open tomorrow morning in idyllic Kerry Valley, and you’re invited.
After a quiet summer for the Scenic Rim—a region deeply impacted by recent drought and bushfires—Destination Scenic Rim and Tommerup’s Dairy Farm have teamed up to host tomorrow’s Autumn #buyfromthebush Market, which will showcase the best of the region’s produce and products.
Not only will you find some of Tommerup’s Dairy Farm’s very own delicious creamery products such as ice creams, butter and crème fraiche, there will also be fresh produce from Kengoon Farming, unique baskets and accessories from Moshki Designs, wines from O’Reilly’s Cunungra Vineyard, locally inspired soaps from Coco and Myrtle, and chutneys and relishes from Kooroomba Gully… just to name a few!
And just to top it off, while you’re there, you can also say hello to some friendly farm animals! Never fed a farm animal before? Well, now’s your chance!

Tommerup’s Dairy Farm’s Kay Tommerup said although they have welcomed the recent rainfall, the Scenic Rim was still an area that needed support.
“After the terrible bushfires over spring and summer impacting a lot of our country (including the Scenic Rim) and the ongoing drought we’re facing, it’s fantastic to see initiatives like Buy From The Bush, Empty Esky and Holiday Here This Year pushing people to visit the areas who have been impacted,” she said.
Tommerup’s Dairy Farm hosted their first #buyfromthebush Market in December, with hundreds of residents from Brisbane and surrounds visiting ahead of Christmas. Kay said they were “blown away” by the response to the market held in December which provided a “much needed boost in the lead-up to an otherwise quiet summer for many businesses in the Scenic Rim”.
“We want to welcome those visitors back and encourage others who may not realise that we’re on their doorstep to come and do their shopping here, get to know your farmer, shop local and spend some quality time in the Scenic Rim with family and friends. Come and fill up those empty eskies!”
The market will be held tomorrow, Sunday March 1, from 9am–1pm at Tommerup’s Dairy Farm in Kerry. For more information about the market, visit the Facebook event page.
