Bondi Farmers Markets

Bondi Farmer’s Market is difficult to pigeon-​hole, it’s part a community fair and part boutique food hall — but it seems to work and when the weather is good, it is full of yummy mummys and hipsters looking for organic mung beans and sour dough.
It’s not a cheap farmer’s market though — but it’s probably cheaper than the Coles-​Woolies duopoly!

Well if a Saturday morning at the Bondi Farmers’ Market doesn’t make you want to immediately rush home and start procreating painfully beautiful, beach-​loving, organic-​eating, Australian-​accented babies, than I’m convinced nothing will.
With the sun shining and the buskers playing, this market looks like a postcard from Utopia. It’s stocked full of local produce from fruit, veg, bread, meat and fish to herbs spices and olive oils and it’s all sold by the producers themselves. While it’s not massive, it does have everything you’d need to prepare an amazing meal later in the day, including the flowers for the centrepiece. There’s even a knife sharpener on hand! Of course if you’re less ambitious, you can pop by for some pre-​made deliciousness like baked goods or some hot food like crepes, reuben sandos and/​or some seriously life-​changing corn fritters.
Long story short, this is the place to be if you’re in the area on a Saturday morning or early afternoon. Just make sure you leave yourself some time later in the day to get busy cooking up something delicious in the kitchen, ahem, or in other rooms.

Not to be confused with the Bondi Junction Farmers Market or the Sunday Bondi Beach Market — this is the Bondi Farmer’s Market on every Saturday.
When I first came here I have to say I was a little underwhelmed. I’ve been to some pretty amazing and full markets in my time and this one seemed a bit barren. Given it was the best day for it but stall numbers as well as customers were modest. On closer inspection there are some quality treats to be had. Paddock-​to-​plate free range Mirrool Creek lamb, organic chickens, artisan breads, farmstead cheeses, seafood, chocolate, gluten free cakes, original Homewares like the Byron Bay chopping boards, sausage sizzles and a folk band. Pretty standard farmers market stuff.
It’s a nice wonder and if you live locally it’s probably a good place to get you’re weekly fresh bits and pieces.
