Canberra’s original, biggest and best farmers market, the Capital Region Farmers Market, is seeking genuine producers to complement the current range of producer-stallholders.

Homeleigh Grove is one of our original stallholders, and their almost two decades of Market attendance is a testament to their dedication to providing high quality olive products to the Canberra region.

At the Market, we’re very lucky to be able to offer fresh tomatoes year-round due to some of our producers who have hydroponic and green house set ups. But in February (weather permitting!), marketgoers can experience the rich flavours of naturally grown varieties, in particular heirloom species.

In addition to our regular Saturday morning Market where shoppers can buy everything from tasty Christmas hams, seafood, baked treats, and fresh fruit and vegetables, we’ll offer customers one more […]
