Fancy a Farmers' Market?
Ditch the over-airconditioned aisles for a Farmers' Market, where you'll grab fresh, local, ethically-traded produce straight from the farmers and growers themselves. Excellent coffee, long-lasting, technicolour veggies, organic wine and not a hay bale in sight.

Carriageworks Farmers' Market (Eveleigh, Sydney) on Saturdays
We could tell you about it, or leave it to Mike McEnearney, Carrigeworks’ Creative Director, to tantalize your senses; “This market is a meeting place. You stop and chat to the suppliers, you find yourselves asking questions about food. Hopefully you are inspired. With a list and a few suggestions, the market could be your weekly shopping destination. Grab a fresh coffee, sit in the sun with friends or cuddle a warm bowl of steaming freshly made porridge on those Winter mornings. Listen to live music, feast your eyes on the abundance of colour and variety, taste, touch and smell all the glorious produce”. Damn, damn, damn!
