Melbourne Market's

There are so many fantastic markets around Melbourne, ranging from farmers markets to boutique craft markets.  We also of course have the large permanent markets such as the Queen Victoria, South Melbourne, Prahran, Footscray and Camberwell market. Many of these are open on different days so you always have somewhere to go to get good quality fresh produce, meat, dairy, seafood and the like.

My friend found these gorgeous knitted vegetables in a shop just outside the Queen Victoria market. They are fair trade and come in all manner of vegetables – what a great little present for a mini foodie!

A market we visited last weekend was the Slow Food market at Abbotsford convent. This market is part of a conglomerate of markets that rotate around venues on different weekends of the month including Veg Out St Kilda, Collingwood Children’s Farm market and Gasworks.

You can buy a tasty little breakfast for a cold morning such as the spicy pork and leek omelette with relish or a good old fashioned egg and bacon roll. Pick up cheeses, fruit and vegetables, seedlings to plant, nuts and coffee.

We picked up a great variety of root veg to go with our lamb leg. Off to our friend’s house to enjoy this by the fire – winter has well and truly arrived!
