For more than seven years, the GOWINGS PORT CENTRAL REAL FOOD MARKETS have been the hub connecting our local community with the finest farmers and food artisans from our region.
Join us every Tuesday from 12:00pm to 5:00pm at the Glasshouse Forecourt for the REAL FOOD MARKETS, a delightful shopping experience. Shop locally sourced organic fruits and vegetables, pasture-raised meats and eggs, baked goods, nuts, honey, jams, and fragrant flowers sourced locally.
Take your time exploring the stalls, engaging with our community’s farmers, and indulging in treats like kombucha, homemade pies, or cheese tarts. Any why not extend your visit by enjoying some retail therapy and lunch at the neighbouring Gowings Port Central Shopping Centre before stocking up on your fresh meat and produce and heading home?
At Gowings Port Central Shopping Centre, we take pride in hosting the REAL FOOD MARKETS, dedicated to sustaining our local farmers and food artisans. We look forward to welcoming you to this vibrant community event!
