Jan Powers Farmer's Market | Discover Brisbane

A couple of weekends ago, in fact the first weekend we were in Brisbane, Jack and I decided to check out a farmers market. Farmers markets are something we quite enjoy going to in the UK and our local area offers quite a few throughout the year but we hadn't discovered any in Australia until this point. I did some Googling and was happy to find one held locally to us, in Newfarm, every Saturday morning. So of course we had to go and check it out. 

There was loads of great fresh produce on offer to try and buy from fruit, flowers, cakes and homewares it had everything you could want from a farmers markets. Jack and I were mostly interested in the food, being massive foodies, so we spend most of our time hanging around the brownie, bread and cheese stalls pinching free tasters - all delicious I might add. 

It's a great way to spend a Saturday morning in the city because it doesn't have to cost you a penny, or a cent in this case, unless you decide to buy something. It's great just to wander around looking at the stalls and indulging in the relaxed atmosphere. It's easy to forget you're only down the road from the CBD. 

The location was awesome too and if you want you can go into the powerhouse and have a look around. I would recommend rocking up early, as it does get busy and if you're driving you might struggle for a park. However, the city cat terminal is literally down the path from the market and there are bus stops near by. 

So why not hop on the ferry this Saturday, grab a coffee and a pastry from one of the coffee retailers at the market and spend your morning relishing in all the beautiful fresh food and home ware stalls this farmers market offers?

Have you tried out a farmers market in Australia? What other fun things would you recommend I do whilst I'm in Brisbane? Don't forget to let me know in the comments,

Until next time,
