Australia — Victoria
Boroondara Farmers Market pops up at Patterson Reserve on the third and fifth Saturdays, drawing small growers and makers from across the eastern suburbs. Stalls brim with fresh fruit and veg, herbs, olives, meats, eggs, honey, bread and cakes, dips, sauces and even local wine and beer.
Run by the City of Boroondara, the market has a relaxed, community feel. Bring cashless payment if you can and browse alongside neighbours in leafy Hawthorn East before strolling home with a basket of seasonal staples.
