Carlton Farmers' Market is set to open on Saturday 4th of October, 2014

This new market will run in partnership with Carlton Primary School and is supported by a City of Melbourne Community Grant.



The Market will take place regularly on the first Saturday of each month, offering local and fresh seasonal produce direct from the source.

Up to 35 stall holders, ranging from ethically farmed meats and eggs to seasonal fruit and veg to supplies of hand made cheese, honey, olives, oils and more.

Miranda Sharp, director of Melbourne Farmers' Markets said they were excited about the launch of the new market and that a recent study they commissioned showed 37% of our market shoppers live in the immediate vicinity of the farmers' markets they attend. The group is certain local resident will be pleased to now have a local farmers' market in their neighbourhood.

The partnership between Melbourne Farmers' Markets and Carlton Primary School has resulted in the development of several community engagement projects, including contributions to the school's kitchen garden program and screen printing program with member's of the schools adult art class.

A not-for-profit organisation, Melbourne Farmers Markets have gained an abundance of support from Victorian farmers and the farming community.

The market will run from 8am -1pm on the 1st
Saturday of each month with the very first market opening on October 4.

A gold coin entry donation will help raise funds for school projects.

You'll find Carlton Primary School on Palmerston Street in Carlton. Parking is available on Lygon, Rathdowne and surrounding streets.
