Farmers Markets Geelong: Best Weekly & Monthly

Geelong's farmers market network draws on an extraordinary geographic diversity of food production regions: the Bellarine Peninsula wine and market garden country to the south and east, the Surf Coast's growing operations in the Otway Ranges foothills, the You Yangs pastoral country to the north, and the Otway dairy region that supplies some of Australia's finest cheeses and butter to the Geelong market scene.

Geelong Showgrounds Farmers Market, the monthly Saturday Geelong Showgrounds market is the city's primary farmers market event, drawing producers from across the Barwon and Surf Coast regions with a full-spectrum offering from Bellarine Peninsula wine (direct cellar-door sales) to Otway dairy, You Yangs wool craft, and the full range of seasonal Geelong-region produce.

Portarlington Market, the monthly Portarlington Pier market provides the Bellarine Peninsula community with its own coastal market experience, featuring Peninsula producers including the Buckley's Chance and other Bellarine Peninsula wineries, the peninsula market gardens, and the mussel and seafood producers of the Portarlington Bay.

Ocean Grove Farmers Market, the monthly Ocean Grove market provides the southern Bellarine community with a neighbourhood market experience in one of Victoria's fastest-growing coastal towns, featuring local producers and the community social gathering that the growth population has built around Saturday morning market attendance.

Torquay Farmers Market, the monthly Surf Coast market at Torquay provides the Surf Coast community with a farmers market connecting the coastal lifestyle population with the Otway Ranges, Ballarat corridor, and Bellarine Peninsula producers who form the regional growing catchment.

Holy Smoke and Otway Dairy, Geelong's market scene is defined in part by the Otway Ranges dairy producers (Holy Smoke smoked meats, Otway Pork, the Apostle Whey Cheese range) whose products command premium prices in Melbourne and Sydney but are available at direct-producer market pricing within the Geelong catchment.
