Renewal SA Chief Executive Fred Hansen said the fresh food and farmer’s market operator, Wild at Hart, will open their stalls for the first time on Sunday 11 May 2014 .
“The Hart’s Mill precinct is an important part of South Australia’s history and this is a great way of breathing new life into what was once a working port, whilst respecting the history and heritage of the precinct,” Mr Hansen said.
“The foodie’s weekend will be a celebration of the special place Hart’s Mill has in the community and I would encourage everyone to join the festivities.”
Wild at Hart proprietor Steph Taylor said they will provide an energetic and lively market scene, with the best in local produce.
“Wild at Hart Fresh Food Markets will encourage local business to get involved and interact with the community,” Ms Taylor said.
“The Port is brimming with potential and our fresh food market will be a great match for Hart’s Mill – it’s all about offering ‘thoughtful produce for mindful people’.”
The activities are in line with the Premier’s long-term vision to have more people living, working, investing and spending time in the Port.
