Discover Perths original farmers’ market

Mount Claremont Farmers’ Market

Saturdays 7.30-11.30am

Mount Claremont Farmers’ Market is Perths’ original farmers’ market, featuring fresh produce from paddock to plate, enabling interaction between the producer and the consumer, providing authentic food and a meeting place, creating community for all ages.

Founded in 2007, the majority of stallholders attend weekly or fortnightly, bringing authentic, great tasting local produce. A not-for-profit run by the Mount Claremont Primary School P&C, operation of the markets provides funds for the markets’ operation and infrastructure, and funds for running school programs, buying equipment, and helping to maintain and upgrade the school. It is also a community service, a cornerstone of the local events calendar. It gives everyone the chance to buy local, authentic produce and talk to the producers.

Why shop at a farmers’ market ?

Freshness: Produce at farmers markets is typically fresher than food available in grocery stores.
Variety: Farmers markets offer a wider variety of foods.
Quality: Farmers markets offer high-quality goods without the retail margin.
Support local farmers: Buying directly from farmers supports the local economy and gives them a better return for their produce.
Community: Farmers markets bring people together and provide opportunities to share knowledge about food and cooking.
Transparency: Buying locally from smaller vendors gives you the opportunity to ask questions about how your food was grown and harvested.
Environmental impact: Food at farmers markets is transported shorter distances and is generally grown using methods that minimise the impact on the earth.
Ambience: Live music and entertainment, plus friendly faces, all outdoors is much better than the clinical feel of a shopping mall.
