Now in our 12th year the Woodend Community Farmers’ Market is a showcase of regional produce with over 80 regular and seasonal stallholders from within the Macedon Ranges and the wider region.

Accreditation with the Victorian Farmers' Market Association (VFMA), means that customers can have confidence in the authenticity of the producers within the market, and have the opportunity to build direct relationships with the people who grew or made the produce on offer.

The market hosts stallholders that are carefully selected to compliment each other and that sell essential groceries such as fruit, vegetables, meat, bread, coffee beans, wine, honey, cheese, cleaning products, skincare, meat and specialty goods, along with live music (restrictions permitting), hot food and coffee.

Support our regional food producers and stock up delicious fresh produce at our monthly community farmers' markets held in Woodend.

What else is at the market?

The Home Produce Exchange and the MRVEG food tent can be found at the Woodend Community Farmers’ Market each month. Home produce exchange offers a swap table for homegrown produce. Ask any questions on how to grow, store and prepare your produce. MR Veg is for all those interested in sensational vegetarian food, vegan and gluten-free options are available.

Volunteer for Woodend Community Farmers’ Market

Volunteering at the Woodend Community Farmers Market is a rewarding and fun experience that brings people together to support local sustainability efforts. From the moment you arrive to help set up, there’s a real sense of teamwork and purpose. Whether you're arranging seats under the big marquee or setting up a community group’s stall, you get to be part of something that directly benefits the region. One of the best parts is meeting like minded people, fellow volunteers, stallholders, and market goers who share a passion for community, fresh produce, and sustainability. Conversations flow easily, and friendships often form over shared tasks and laughter. Helping with the Wash Against Waste trailer is especially fulfilling. Using an industrial dishwasher to clean reusable cups and plates helps significantly reduce single use waste. It’s satisfying to see the direct impact of your efforts, knowing that each washed item means less landfill waste and a cleaner environment. Packing up at the end of the market is another chance to connect, reflect on a job well done, and leave with a sense of accomplishment.
