Meet up at our monthly farmers' markets

ORGANISERS and stall holders of the monthly farmers' markets held around the Alpine Shire are busy preparing for the change of season, to welcome back visitors and residents to sample the best produce, beverages, artwork, handicrafts and keepsakes the region has to offer over winter. Held in Hydro Park on the first Saturday of each month from 9am, the Mount Beauty Markets feature a variety of stalls which showcase locally made items, fresh produce, plants and seedlings, home baked treats, handmade jewellery and vintage clothing, photography prints and paintings, knitwear, toys, woodwork, hand-dyes wool, secondhand books and more. The Mount Beauty Market is always looking to grow with the help of local talent to create a bustling market environment, which not only brings the community together but becomes an asset to the town. The next market is scheduled for the King’s Birthday long weekend this Saturday, 7 June, with further winter markets planned for 5 July and 2 August.

Bright's 'Make It, Bake It, Grow It' farmers' market is held on the third Saturday of every month and is a showcase of local producers, arts and crafts from local surrounds all in one location, on the banks of the beautiful Ovens River, held from 8:30am to 12:30pm. Fresh fruit and vegetables, trout, wines, jams and preservers, sweets, nuts, olive oils, jewellery, kids clothes, art, pottery, leather works, photography and painting, candles and wellbeing, plants and much more are on offer, not a two minute walk from the main street and the town's unique stores.

Customers are guaranteed access to quality, freshly harvested produce whilst supporting local farmers and directly putting money back into regional Victorian communities. Each month the market has a theme aligned with the true seasonality of the region’s produce. Visitors truly connect with the produce and producers of the region by learning, sharing and enjoying a local and ethical food system. Local food vendors include artisans showcasing crepes, Italian donuts, sausage rolls, strudels, Dutch pancakes, coffee and more. Producers are heroes of the area, with locals and tourists alike congregating monthly to celebrate them and enjoy the bounty of this beautiful region. The market kicks off at 8:30am with live music from 10:30am. For more information about the Myrtleford Farmers Market, visit: https://www.myrtlefordfarmersmarket.com.au/
