Albany Farmers Market — Local services in Albany

Went again to the Farmers Market one Saturday in March and found a range of fresh vegies eggs fruit all of decent quality. Special interest was the variety of potatoes which intrigued us too. Of course being seasonal they were different to our November visit in 2023 We had in 2023 enjoyed our avocado purchase but here is the BIG disappointment. We asked the very chatty woman for some that we could consume the next day and after great flourish and much information giving on her type of avocardos suggested one for the next day and another for mid week They were both very small sized fruit which we took home to Perth To our surprise shock the midweek fruit described as a sharwell remained hard ! On the 8th day since purchase we decided to cut it . It was rock hard Remember the vendor suggested time was 3 days ….. So what was all that flourish and drama in going thru a range of her boxed fruit and coming up with 2 wee fruits costing $4.50 where only 1 was edible ? Extremely shocked esp when we were so thrilled with our November experience in 2023 An observation while we stood waiting while the vendor raved about the various characteristics of her fruit to a young American tourist before she attended to us waiting patiently n listening NOBODY else bought her fruit …. Do they know something that we don’t? I wonder?

The rest of the market produce esp the variety of fresh flowers from one very polite grower was phenomenal….. cottage flowers so different to those sold in supermarkets. Unfortunately we were unable to buy these n we were on track to drive back to Perth in...

A True Taste of the Region on the Saturday morning!

We visited recently and came home with a beautiful haul of fresh fruits, vegetables, and some delicious baked goods from the bakery stall. Everything was so fresh and tasted amazing, you can really tell the difference when produce is this quality.

The atmosphere was lovely, with friendly vendors who are clearly passionate about what they do. It's the perfect place to spend a Saturday morning.

A small tip for future visitors that make sure to stop at an ATM first, as most of the stalls we saw were cash-only. It's a small inconvenience for such a wonderful experience. We can't wait to go back and explore more of...

Coffee is worth the wait! We come to this market when we visit Albany.because we love the freshness of the vegetables and avocados. Yesterday, the little rain did not dampen the atmosphere at all.

But what shocked us was when we were charged $8 for ONE chocolate croissant! That costs more than the extra large coffee with oat milk that I had. It might be good to label the goods with a price tag like how the other stall. I was planning on getting a loaf of sourdough from them but decided not to for fear that it may cost me an...
