This popular regional authentic Farmers market is held under the trees in the beautiful surroundings of the town's Memorial Park in the quaint but vibrant host village of Koonwarra.

The market offers the best of the region's fresh, locally grown produce, preserves and many other culinary delights.

Experience the fresh tastes of the seasons, the best Gippsland has to offer. Fall in love with local food, the produce and certainly the people behind such offerings.

There are seats and tables for you to have your lunch and breath in the calmness of the day.

Speak to the farmers and the producers for advice on problems in your garden or how to cook different foods. Know how your produce is grown. Direct from the farmer, taste the freshness.

The gates open at 8am. From that time until 11 the market can be very busy. After that time things become more laid back as the market transforms itself into a gathering of people conversing, catching up on news, or just enjoying a cup of coffee or a bite of lunch.

The market is known for its buzzing, friendly atmosphere as customers sample goods, discuss recipes and share news with stallholders and other market regulars; it's a real shopping experience.

The market offers seasonal fruit and vegetables and tries to educate customers in the difference of the taste that true freshness brings. Not all fruit and vegetables are obtainable all year, however buying produce direct from the producer in season at a Farmers Market will provide you with not only the true taste of freshness but also enable you to get the best nutritional value.
