A true farmers market in that its only traders are farmers from the Great Southern region who bring their seasonal local and fresh produce to market this week. Every food group is covered, including farmed meats, seafood and dairy enabling you to shop for all your fresh food needs for every meal! Seasonality (and weather) dictate how many traders are in the market any week but even through winter the market is still able to offer a great range of vegetables, fruits, meats and dairy. It is only a fresh food market with some farmers value adding their own grown produce. Consequently its size is small when compared to large city markets, but its point of difference is that everything offered is local, fresh and in season. Quantities of produce and varietal choice is very large, often many lines available that cannot be bought in main stream outlets Art, craft and nick knacks are not part of the market mix, only fresh Great Southern grown or reared food! Experience being a local!
