"Being part of the home markets has been fantastic and it has helped me connect with other small business owners in my community. I managed to buy some really unique products and it even helped me turn a hobby of making chutneys into an actual business opportunity. All in all being part of the home markets has been a great experience of making connections and discovering opportunities!"
"It's really inspiring to see people coming out and supporting each other in different ways"
"I loved the idea form the beginning, and I do like shopping, so it was a good excuse for me to clean out my cupboard and then my ideas grew from there"
"I make herbal teas from things that come from the garden, as well as flowers, fruit, herbs, eggs and fresh brioche. I love the community feel- I love seeing my neighbours come by and I've learned they have lots of secrets in the kitchen"
"I've got 3 boys, the youngest is only 1. I haven't had much time to do much this lockdown, I've just wanted to be busy & these home markets really got me inspired to make something I would like in my own home, so that's what I did! I was so nervous but they sold out! Your feedback boosts my confidence so much, thank you!"
"I was so nervous putting my homemade stuff out there, but really I'm glad I did. It's inspired me to become more attached to the community. I really look forward to each Saturday! I love the fact that the money I make on my stall I go and spend on other stalls each week. Thankyou"
"Such a fab initiative, you're so incredible for organising us all and keeping the kids entertained during lockdown. The community vibe is so vibrant, I just love it!"
"People need to get out and about. People want to support each other. I told my neighbour about it too. She's so excited!"
"I'm blown away by how fruitful this community venture has been in just a few short weeks! I'm so grateful for the opportunity that our kids have had. They designed their own cards and wooden key holders and were able to make a donation to Foodbank NSW with some of the profits. Thankyou!"
"Our family loves the buzz of joy and creativity in our community because of Home Markets, Thanks so much!"
"This initiative is simply amazing & completely relevant. Love it."
"I'm so proud to be part of this beautiful home markets community. Thank you for dreaming it into being Lisa, and working your arse off to help it thrive"
"I've had my car washed, gotten fantastic worm wee for my garden and enjoyed seeing everyone out and about because of this fantastic initiative"
"It’s a brilliant idea. I am really looking forward to hitting the trail and seeing some of the things up for sale"
