Community Farmers’ Markets

Farmers’ markets are at the heart of Slow Food. It’s not just the most direct source of fresh produce but also a genuine, accessible way for the public to find the real story on how our food is farmed.

This is simply about Victorian farmers getting what they deserve for their efforts and consumers getting value for what they pay for…. no long cold storage, no gases, no over processed chemical laden foods and no GMO’s. Just delicious, nourishing seasonal foods in an atmosphere that promotes conviviality and community.
Come and find seasonal, organic and low/no chemical fruit and vegetables, free range, rare breed and heritage meats, fish, chooks and eggs. Then there’s handmade cheeses, pasta, condiments, bread, honey, olive oil, flowers, seedlings and much, much more! You can be up with the birds or stroll down and brunch while you shop.

When: 4th Saturday of every month
Where: Abbotsford Convent, St Heliers Street, Abbotsford
Time: 8:00am - 1:00pm

  1. I think farmers markets also help contribute to the whole culture around organic food and green practices. At a lot of these places I see families and little kids running around being exposed to this at a young age, and even if they aren't aware of it, learning about food and where it comes from.
