Did you know that Adelaide, in particular the Adelaide Hills and Fleurieu Peninsula, has a fantastic trail of road side produce stalls?

Hidden, cute, often trending on TikTok and very Instagram-able, but have you ever wondered how to find them?

We are talking more than just a bucket of home grown lemons too! Yep, this is a great excuse to throw the kids in the car and take a nice little low cost adventure through the Adelaide Hills or at least out of your usual digs.

You might even pick up a few things for school lunches next week!

Find out where to go and what you can expect to find here > www.kidsinadelaide.com.au/adelaides-road-side-produce-stalls

Today is the best day for making ANZAC Biscuits (never cookies) and we think if you're going to make them today they HAVE to be the original way right?

Sturt Reserve at Murray Bridge might be set for a $4.85m upgrade! 🤯

Labour pollies on the election trail announced the proposed upgrade (contingent on Labour getting up in the election) and it does look quite spectacular.

What do you think of these plans?
