Fresh produces at Farmer markets

| 2 Likes

If you keep it simple and buy ingredients at farmers’ markets, the food can pretty much take care of itself. Do as little as possible to the food; consider leaving out an ingredient and relying on instinct. We have a list of shopping streets and farmer markets in Melbourne for you.

If all you sell is raspberries (or olives, or rhubarb, or honey), then you’ve got to have a pretty strong passion for them. Every third Saturday of the month, enthusiasm for high quality local produce runs like electricity at this Port Melbourne arts space, and your tastebuds will feel it too.

Grab a fresh, crusty baguette from Alison, then stock up on seasonal produce and a treat or two for later (handmade chocolate biscuits, anyone?).

 

Slow Food Melbourne Farmers’ Market

Where:  Abbotsford Convent, St Heliers Street, Abbotsford

Parking: St Heliers St Carpark, visit the Abbotsford Convent.

Beneath the grey spires of the historic Abbotsford Convent is a market that champions an era when you know the farmer who grew your potatoes, and when tomatoes tasted like real tomatoes.

Open the fourth Saturday of each month, seasonal, organic food is king here, and learning about the origins of your produce is half the fun. Pope Joan’s Matt Wilkinson can’t get enough of the Warialda sausages and Jim’s pork pies, and we fell hard for Take Me Home’s Gippsland-made gnocchi.
