Another great market, with a great atmosphere and a huge range of stalls selling a range of local produce from farmers and growers. The market was within a short walking distance of our self-catering accommodation. And what a good decision it was to go there! Stalls selling dairy products, meats, fresh fruit/veg/salads, wine, cheeses, and much, much more. We bought meat and salads for two evening dinners, all reasonably priced and great quality. Beautiful produce. So glad we visited the market. Very highly recommend a visit. Local people don't know how lucky they are to have such a great Farmer's Market. Or perhaps they do!!

Adelaide Hills Farmers' Market

The Adelaide Hills Farmers' Market is an authentic farmers market where you can purchase produce direct from the farmer and products direct from the maker. Get a taste of the Adelaide Hills and surrounds and find out who is growing and making your food and what their current local food passion is. There is no-one as passionate about food as those who have decided to grow and make it for a living.

Called in from our Melbourne trip to stock up on fruit and veggies. Found this little gem in Mt Barker. Got carried away and bought up big as they had so much variety in stock and really good quality. There are varying prices, so check out the front of the store and then inside. Bargains are out the front. There are also other items to choose from, so just wander around, people there are very friendly and helpful.

The Stirling Market

Reviewed By erinh879

The Stirling Market is a friendly and vibrant event, in a charming Adelaide Hills village. Highlights include local coffee roaster (Roasted On) as well as the Japanese Street Food (Kokochi). Some things to note: It’s the most popular market in the hills (by far) but parking is limited for Adelaide standards. However, you can park in the side streets easily and you won’t be more than a 5 minute walk away. It will get crowded between about 11am and 1pm. The best time to visit is at 10am before it is busy and while vendors still have stock. On very busy days many vendors will sell out early. There are actually two different markets. This review is for the “Stirling Market” which is on Druid Avenue. The other market is the “Stirling Laneways Market” which is in the many other parts of the village. They are both on the same day of the month which is the 4th Sunday of the month (remember this is not always the last Sunday of the month). The Laneways Market is not on during Winter when the weather can be cold and raining but the Stirling Market is on all year round. So if you want to see the Stirling Market on quieter days, then wait for a really wet day and head up there! The stall holders are about 80% the same each market and then about 20% different. It’s not a farmers market, so you won’t see lots of fruit and veg. There is fantastic food to eat at the market, and the food you would take home will be more like condiments, chocolate, coffee beans, granola and wine. It’s a fantastic place to get gifts, including handmade cards. There’s local wood carvings, custom shoes, paintings and other artwork and lots more. One of the best things about the market is the location. You can happily spend an hour at the market and then go to the local pub (The Stirling is good, but you could go a little bit down the road and go to The Crafers which is better). If it’s a nice you could to take a walk through the Mt Lofty Botanic Gardens (amazing in Spring and Autumn). On a cold day you could go across the road to Red Cacao for a hot chocolate. On a sunny day you could drive around the corner and have a drink and some cheese at Deviation Rd Winery. There’s also lots of great walking trails in the area, either in Cleland National Park, or the Belair National Park which is lesser known and so you’ll see hardly anyone there. So to wrap up, the Stirling Market is absolutely worth visiting, and if you pair it up with some other activities in the area you’ll have more than enough to fill out a day with fun activities.

Plant 4

Reviewed By gobimonkey - Adelaide, Australia

Great to visit particularly on a balmy Friday evening. There are about 12 different food stalls from various cultures all very reasonably priced at say $15-00. A very cosmopolitan / community feel to the area.With bars upstairs and down it is a great way to spend a couple of hours with plenty of room for kids and or dogs.
