Bathurst Wholefood Co Op manager Kiri Armstrong said the festival provides an avenue for producers to showcase and sell stock they've been nurturing over the summer period.

"A lot of producers have been putting fruit, vegetables, preserves and condiments aside for the event, so we're expecting a decent turnout this Saturday," Ms Armstrong said.

"It's been a great growing season with the welcome rain the region has received, so there will be plenty of variety for members of the community looking for fresh produce."

The event will also feature live music.

Ms Armstrong said the Wholefood Co Op has recently reorganised its shop space to allow for greater ease of access.

"We're hoping for a great crowd on the weekend, as markets have been really popular in recent months, with plenty of confidence in local agriculture," she said.

"A lively and thriving atmosphere is what we're aiming for on Saturday, so everyone is welcome to come on down and check it out."
