Porky's Henhouse

Can you give us a little bit of history behind Porky's Henhouse and why you chose to become part of our Hornsby Market Family

Porky's has been up and running for about 7 months now.  I have always enjoyed cooking up a big breakfast for people.  Now I'm just taking it to the next level.

Hornsby is one of the few weekday markets available, and as a long established market I felt privileged that I could find a place there.

How important is it for you to use both free range and organic produce for your food

The quality of my products is essential.  I stand by the reputation of my bacon, eggs and fresh rolls.  Without it, I would not come out to market. 

I refuse to settle for second rate produce.

You also sell organic drinks.  What makes a drink "organic"

No added sugar, no preservatives, no additives.  Made from organically raised produce

What goes in to your "monster rolls"

4 strips of bacon, two HUGE eggs, two massive slices of cheese on a large roll.  I always challenge all of my customers to go bigger

How would you describe Porky's Henhouse in 5 words

Outrageously tasty bacon & eggs

**********

You up for the challenge we ask?  Go on....give it a go!  MASSIVE thank you to Porky's Henhouse for not only being part of our market but providing an organic sport of sorts: wrapping your laughing gear around one of the MONSTER rolls each Thursday at Hornsby Markets!

5 questions with Ron Choy

How long have you been part of the Organic Food Markets Community

I have been part of the markets pretty much when it began which is quite a long time now

Why plants

Plants have been a great interest of mine and after a while I focussed on being a plant florist,  I find it incredibly relaxing work and enjoy being surrounded by so much green and wanted to share this love with others.

Your flowers are loved by many: how do you choose which ones to bring to market

We tend to follow the season but we do have  "annuals" (ie. available all year round) like Gardenias, Lavender and Rosemary.  Not forgetting the indoor plants which always brighten up the home. 

When winter comes we have the exotics, like orchids which are always a firm favourite.

What makes Hornsby Market a great place to be on a Thursday

We like coming to Hornsby Market because it's like our second family.  We love catching up with the stallholders and customers and it's great to see what everyone's been up to and share a laugh or two

For anyone who hasn't yet ventured forth to the Hornsby Mall on a Thursday, what words would you use to encourage them to get in, have a wander, buy some nice goodies and most specially buy a plant from the Kings of Plants (aka Ron)

Come to Hornsby Markets if you want a great shopping experience!  It's right in the middle of the Mall so you don't have to drive to different places to buy your groceries. It's super convenient and pleasant even more so at lunch time when the fountain starts!

Even better we are easily found cause you can see us from two entry points to the Mall so just look for the colour plant stand with stacks of indoor ones as well.

What you waiting for!  We HIGHLY recommend you get yourselves there asap and see what's in season, what will be the perfect gift for someone special (and that includes yourselves!)
