Gowings Port Central Real Food Markets

Running for more than seven years, the Gowings Port Central Real Food Markets bring the finest farmers and food artisans from the Mid North Coast together every Tuesday at the Glasshouse Forecourt - an undercover outdoor space adjoining Gowings Port Central Shopping Centre on Hay Street. The market is genuinely produce-led: expect certified organic fruits and vegetables from local certified growers, pasture-raised meats and eggs from regenerative farms like Little Eden Farm at Rollands Plains, raw Mid North Coast honey direct from a fourth-generation beekeeper, free-range eggs, homegrown flowers, Swiss cheese tarts, native bush foods, and small-batch natural skincare. It is a weekday market with a loyal local following, giving shoppers a relaxed midweek opportunity to stock up on real food and chat directly with the people who grew or made it. After browsing the stalls you can extend the visit with retail therapy and lunch inside the neighbouring shopping centre.
