Thousands of people turned up to the Currabubula Boutique Market

Currabubula Boutique Market organiser Veronica Filby said they had probably raised at least $12,000 for the local school from people who bought a stall to sell their products, with more on the way from the gold coin entry fee and raffles.

"We spend the money across a range of things and we subsidise a lot of excursions for the kids," Ms Filby, the secretary for the Parents and Citizens (P&C) association, said.

"We then buy resources, new library books, sporting equipment, and infrastructure as well."

With plenty of homemade goods on display, including art sculptures, fashion, jewellery and home wares at more than 180 stalls, Ms Filby said even most of the food had sold out by the end of the day.

The Nundle Pie Company, which launched at the market, had a line-up of hungry customers from the time they opened at 9am until about 2pm.

Ms Filby said the best thing about country markets is that people get to meet the maker and find out firsthand where the product has come from and how it has been made.

"I love when a lot of our stallholders share stories about how all of their products were produced," Ms Filby said.

"Country markets are just really beautiful, family friendly...and very dog friendly today."

Vendors had travelled from far and wide to set up shop at the market which is only held only twice a year, in May and December.
