About
Melbourne Farmers Markets is a for-purpose organisation that has run farmers' markets across Melbourne since 2002. Its head office is at the Melbourne Innovation Centre in Alphington, and from there it organises a set of regular markets that bring Victorian farmers and food producers face to face with shoppers, with a focus on seasonal produce, regional food cultures, biodiversity and sustainable farming.
The group runs the Alphington Farmers Market on Sundays from 9am to 1pm at its Wingrove Street site, the Coburg Farmers Market on Saturdays from 8am to 1pm at Coburg Primary School, and the Carlton Farmers Market on Saturdays from 8am to 1pm at Carlton North Primary School. Beyond the markets it operates the MFM Depot for food logistics, the MFM Kitchen commercial kitchen, and the Moving Feast social enterprise. Stalls vary week to week, so meat, produce and other lines depend on which farmers are trading.
