The Farmers Market in Hobart 1997 was so enjoyable. I brought home a little packet of lime leaves to cook with. My host in Tasmania sold beautiful hosta plants at the Saturday market, as well as other well-grown plants. One of my “treasures” is some old Australian coins. At 93, I won’t be going again, but have so many vivid memories of a splendid land and people.

I love the Northey St Organic Markets in Brisbane- bigger, fresher and in a much more beautiful setting than any other organic market. Delicious food and not much more expensive than conventional.

Margaret River Farmers Market is held every Saturday 8-12 (between Dec-March 7.30 – 11.30am) all year round.

Tucked away in the Western Suburbs of Brisbane in Brookfield this genuine Farmers Market run by volunteers, uses its profits to feed the homeless and support Agricultural Science students in their honors year at the University of Queensland.

Research into farming practices are essential, and this year prize money went to research into building stress tolerant soybeans in a climatically changing world; sustainable animal food identifying an effective strain of micro – algae to grow as stock feed, and learning to present research results to bio-science experts.

We make our profits benefit the future. Not just another Farmers Market

Mullumbimby Farmers Market on the lush far nth coast of NSW is laid back, a bit hippie, with music, sushi, wood fired pizza and cane juice, whilst sitting under shady trees. Bliss x
