This monthly market is not large but it is quality. It is managed by the Heathmont Lions Club, easy to find, free off-street parking and entry by gold coin donation.




All the stalls are arranged in a circle, with some within the circle, including undercover tables and chairs to rest or partake of refreshments available at many stalls.




My favourite stall at any market is the coffee one. Sam's Coffee Car was zeroed into and an enjoyed coffee with a doughnut was consumed.


For tea lovers, Twig Teas offered a large range of teas, not in teabags, but hand blended loose leaf tea leaves to brew in your own teapot. Don't have a teapot? Then peruse the range offered in this delightful stall.


What better location to sell their honey is honey from Heathmont honey, a locally based apiarist. I was very tempted to try one of their honey pops.


I spotted a familiar face in the form of Brendon, at Yarra Valley Gourmet Sausages. Brendon makes his sausages in his shop in Mooroolbark Terrace Shopping Centre, where I am a regular customer.


Nature Lab skincare has a great range of natural hair and body care products.


Baby Scent offer a boutique natural skincare range designed for the entire family.


Urban Reusables, reworked furniture was a stall with a difference. As the name implies furniture made from recycled items, mainly wood. A good initiative.


Scented Lane specialises in scented soy candles.


Robert was very proud of his range of homemade pasta, with many varieties on display.


Gourmet Morsels sell blended spices and dukkahs. Mr Google informed me that dukkahs are a blend of Egyptian and middle eastern condiments.


If you want a curry to make your hair curl, head to Tully'z. A huge range to make you cook like an Indian. Owner Tully was Indian born, so curries were second nature to him. I'm not sure about the origin of his hair style.




In the centre dining area, we were entertained by singer songwriter Elisha with her gentle strumming and lovely vocals.


Also in the centre area was Bianca, a children's entertainer through her Wonder Spark parties. She kindly demonstrated her balloon twisting talent.


Looking decidedly delicious were the huge variety of pies, puddings and crumbles from Pudding Nana. I counted over 25 varieties including apple pie, blackberry & apple and spicy plum & apple. Nana, aka Alex, has been a very busy lad.


It's a farmers market but not many farm products were available, avocados and a stand of very fresh-lookin vegetables were two.


is on the 4th Sunday of the month at the Great Ryrie Primary School, in Great Ryrie Street, Heathmont.
