About
Farm Gate Market is a weekly producer-only farmers' market in central Hobart (nipaluna), held every Sunday on Bathurst Street. It runs on a simple rule — if you couldn't eat it, drink it, grow it or meet the producer, you won't find it at the market — so every stall is a grower, maker or someone with direct access to the producer.
Started in 2009 with a dozen producers, it has grown into one of Australia's best-regarded farmers' markets. Expect seasonal Tasmanian fruit and vegetables, artisan foods and a rotating 'Grub Hub' of street-food vendors serving ready-to-eat dishes. The market also has a strong environmental focus, with most packaging compostable and a goal of becoming plastic-free.
