Boroondara Farmers Market

The Boroondara Farmers Market is held on Saturday week 1, 3 and 5 of each month from 8am to 12.30pm at Patterson Reserve, Auburn Road, Hawthorn East. There is no 5th week Saturday market day in December.

The market sells produce from all around Victoria. You can buy:

• fresh fruit and vegetables
• herbs and olives
• seasonal organic produce
• meat and eggs
• honey
• bread and cakes
• dips and sauces
• wine and beer.

If you care about food and buying local, then talk to the dedicated farmers who are just as passionate and learn about the ingredients and processes involved in the food they bring to market.
