💚 THANK YOU, KIN KIN 💚
What a day!
Jammin’ in July Market certainly lived up to its name, with one of our busiest Kin Kin Markets yet. From the moment the gates opened, the village was buzzing with locals, visitors, great conversations, live music, delicious food and plenty of shopping.
Thank you to everyone who made the trip to Kin Kin. Every market is a reminder of what makes this little town so special. It’s more than just a market. It’s neighbours catching up, visitors discovering Kin Kin for the first time and a community that always shows up to support local.
One of the highlights of the day was our inaugural Australia’s Greatest Jam Competition. The standard was incredibly high, and judging wasn’t an easy job!
A huge thank you to our judges:
🍓 Alex Eastwood from Eastwell Farms (you can also catch Alex on Farmer Wants a Wife tonight to find out who he chooses!)
🍓 Rilka Stone
🍓 Bec from Waldorf + Astoria The French Bulldogs
Congratulations to our winners!
🫙 Savoury
🥇 Dan with Nan’s Chutney
🥈 Michel with a delicious Jalapeño Jam
🍊 Sweet
🥇 Sue with her beautiful Cumquat Jam
🥈 Kobie with her Rosella Jam
Congratulations to everyone who entered. We loved seeing so many homemade recipes, family favourites and creative preserves on display. We have a feeling Australia’s Greatest Jam Competition has found its home in Kin Kin!
Of course, none of this happens without our incredible volunteers. Every marquee, sign, parking space, stall booking, social media post, cup of tea and smile is made possible by locals who generously give their time each month. They are the heart of this market.
To our stallholders, musicians, volunteers and everyone who came along… thank you for continuing to support this beautiful community.
We’ll see you all next month. Until then, keep supporting local, be kind to one another and enjoy everything this wonderful little corner of the world has to offer. ❤️
