A Local's Guide to Canberra Farmers and Fresh-Food Markets

Canberra has a strong fresh-food scene for its size. Sitting inland at altitude, surrounded by the cool-climate farms and vineyards of the Canberra District, the city has built a real weekend market culture around regional growers, bakers, butchers and makers. If you are new to town or just want to shop the way locals do, this guide explains how Canberra's farmers and fresh-food markets work, what you will find on the stalls, and how to make the most of a Saturday or Sunday morning among the produce.
