Get to know the creative heart of Byron Bay and surrounds at its many markets.<\/h5>\n

The Northern Rivers might be known for its beaches<\/a>, rivers and waterfalls<\/a>, but the region is also home to an incredible range of colourful and vibrant farmers markets and other community markets that highlight the very best of local farmers, producers and growers.<\/p>\n

These markets also play a huge part in fostering community and provide a popular meeting place for locals and visitors alike, who are keen to catch up over good food and live music (there are always amazing buskers to be found). Here is your hit list.<\/p>\n

Farmers markets in Byron Bay<\/h2>\n

The weekly farmers markets in and around Byron have a focus on supporting small-scale, local farmers and producers. Stallholders at the markets are handpicked for their quality of produce, community ethos and service excellence. At these beautiful Byron Bay farmers markets you can meet directly with the people who grow your food, and enjoy food that is grown seasonally, as nature intended. It\u2019s a good feeling knowing that the money you spend at the market is going back to support local farmers, the community, and a more sustainable future.<\/p>\n

Many of the markets listed below share a crossover in the stallholders that appear each week. Some of our favourites include (but this is by no means an exhaustive list \u2013 everything is excellent): the Church Farm General Store condiments and soaps, Coopers Shoot Tomatoes, Costanzo Apples, the delicious sourdough breads from Crabbes Creek Woodfired bread, Rainforest Foods for all things macadamias, and delicious food stalls such as Peace, Love and Crepes, and for our favourite food stall of all, The Nomadic Kitchen for the best omelettes in town (Rob from The Nomadic Kitchen has been taking a short break from the markets but should be back soon). We recommend you check the website for each market to find out exactly what stallholders will be appearing.<\/p>\n

This is where and when you will find each of the markets happening.<\/p>\n
