the farm gate market - central hobart

At farm gate market we believe that there are five vital ingredients that are the foundation of our market: Fresh – the goods are so fresh they are picked the night before and delivered straight to the market each Sunday. Local – everything sold must be grown or produced within Tasmania. Seasonal – strict guidelines on the origin of food means that eating seasonally is the norm. Size matters – the market is about supporting small, boutique and artisan businesses. Community – only the people that grow, raise, produce, extract or even pluck the goods for sale can trade. That means that the producer could in fact be your neighbour… now that’s a relationship!
