Markets

It can’t get much fresher than straight from the farmer to you. Enjoy the range and quality of Queensland produce at local farmers’ markets around the state.

If you’re going to have one early morning on your holiday, then why not find out when your local farmers’ market is scheduled. Rise with the sun, take your carrier bag and seek out the best seafood, meat or produce of the day.

Stroll around the stalls, chat to the farmers and they’ll teach you how to select, store and cook your purchases.
