Farmers Market at Yering Station
In line with the world's fastest growing food trend for seasonal
fresh produce the inaugural Yarra Valley Regional Farmers Market
was held in March 1998.
The concept has
been an outstanding success for regional producers, for local consumers
and for visitors, many of whom come to the Yarra Valley specifically
to check out the region's growing reputation for exceptional and
exciting food and wine.
Held in the historic barn at Yering Station on the third Sunday
of each month, the market is a lively place with food tastings,
lots of chatter, tantalising aromas and a visual feast of foods,
flowers and flavours.
In addition to
an extensive selection of fresh seasonal fruit and vegetables you
will find among the stalls mouth-watering biscuits, fresh-ground
coffee and beans, unusual jams, preserves and sauces,
honey, buffalo sausages, delectable chocolates, ice-cream, fruit
vinegars, home-made pasta, locally baked bread, free-range eggs,
a fantastic range of lavender products from hand-creams and bodysprays
to furniture wax ... and, as they say ... much, much more!
Today it is Victoria's longest running monthly market which gives
you the chance to buy direct from the grower, producer or maker,
and, importantly, that it doesn't have "food miles"
on it - that it wasn't made 10 weeks ago and that it hasn't come
thousands of miles across the ocean.
Discover delicious
suprises, goodies and gifts for all your family and friends under
the one roof.
Join in the fun of a traditional indoor village market held all
year round in the Barn at Yering Station, Melba Highway, Yarra Glen
from 9am to 2pm. For further information phone 03 9730 0100.
