MoMa is a produce-based market - junky souvenirs are banned. Expect fancy-foodie special picks, and fresh produce from local community growers. There's food to eat on site and to take home for your family. 

We will also share with you a range of curated projects featuring designers and craftspeople from the local area; live music each week, courtesy of Brian Ritchie, and foodie 'how to' workshops.

MoMa is curated by David Walsh's loving partner, Kirsha Kaechele. She's flanked by food curators Jo Cook & Michelle Crawford - hot, hipster Martha Stewart types, along with Shae Thomas. Design stalls curated by Natalie Holtsbaum. We also have a Minnie Mouse snake monster tent by visiting New York artist Daphane Park.

We'd love to see you there in 2013.
