Essendon Farmers Market

Tucked into Lincoln Park, this monthly Sunday market brings local growers, bakers, makers and producers to Essendon, so shoppers can buy direct and chat with the people behind their food. It is part of the Regional Farmers Markets network, which launched one of Victoria's first farmers markets in 1999 and now runs community markets across Melbourne and regional Victoria. The park setting gives it a relaxed, neighbourhood feel, making it an easy weekend outing for locals from Essendon and surrounding suburbs. Long known to many as the North Essendon Village Farmers' Market, it remains a friendly gathering place as much as a place to shop.
