With over 400 markets held and now in its 8th year
of continuous operation, a car park in the the heart of Albany Western Australia is miraculously transformed EVERY SATURDAY into a busy thriving market place - local producers bring their fresh, seasonal product and sell direct to locals and tourists.
An established top spot to shop for the day to day and for the unexpected and unusual! The quality and range of product EVERY week is enormous - not only every imaginable type of fruit and vegetables and salad vegetables, but also Organic Beef and Lamb; Venison; Kangaroo; Capretto; Free Range Chicken; Fish, Seafood, Honey, Bread, Yoghurt, Soft Cheeses, Milk, Cream and Ice-creams, Extra Virgin Olive Oils, Jams, Preserves and Fresh Flowers together with a complementary selection of Organic and Bio Dynamic grown vegetables and much much more.
The growers themselves sell their produce at the Albany Farmers Market and delight in passing on the provenance of their product, together with helpful tips and recipes. Many locals now rely on the markets for their major weekly shop because of the comprehensive range and sustained quality of produce, enjoying the wonderful interaction with the producers, whilst at the same time enjoying the camaraderie and delight of catching up with old friends!
Visitors enjoy an opportunity to see, sample and buy produce that is truly local.
