Budding entrepreneurs have showcased their wares as part of the Aura Farmers Market Youth Market over the last month.

Bracelets, homemade dog treats, bespoke greeting cards, tie die clothing, crochet toys and cookies were just a few of the items on sale to eager crowds from our youngest business-minded community members.

Children as young as nine braved gusty winds to set up shop at the Saturday markets amongst a range of fresh local produce, gourmet take-home delicacies, food trucks, beverages and live music.

The markets are a joint venture between Stockland and the Caloundra Chamber of Commerce.

Rosina Harris, General Manager said the farmers markets were the perfect addition to the already thriving Aura community.

Stockland Aura Project Director, Josh Sondergeld said the markets served as more than just places to purchase food and wares.

“They’re vibrant community spaces where residents can catch up and support regional producers,” Mr Sondergeld said.

“Our vision at Stockland is to be the leading creator and curator of connected communities, and this is underpinned by our purpose – a better way to live.”
