Adelaide Food Market
Adelaide Central Market
The Adelaide Central Market is a community of people: traders, artisans and shoppers, who share a passion for food. It buzzes with life and colour all year round.
The Adelaide Central Market is the mother of all produce markets. Located next to Chinatown, it boasts more than 550 speciality stores, representing over 60 nationalities.
The range of fresh food is extensive, and it's all under one roof...fruit & vegetables, meat & poultry, seafood, gourmet cheeses, cakes and more.
People love to return again and again for the delicious aromas, the vivid colours and the atmosphere of an international melting pot of cultures.
Farmers' markets
On a Sunday morning, visit the Adelaide Showgrounds Farmers’ Market. These popular markets feature a mix of local produce, vegetarian, free range and allergy friendly foods. Savour the flora flavoured ice cream, in flavours such as wattle seed, lemon myrtle and macadamia. It’s an experience to write home about.
Just outside the city, visit the Adelaide Hills Farmers’ Market at Mount Barker. It’s less than an hour’s drive from Adelaide. Stop for some German fare at Hahndorf. Hand-pick strawberries or collect some premium jams and spreads from Beerenberg Farm.
Heading to the Barossa for the weekend? Peruse the Barossa Farmers’ Market at Angaston. Hear the real stories behind traditional delicacies, like wood-oven breads, smoked wursts and olive oils.
Country markets
On Saturday, find organic, genetic engineering free (GE free) foods at the Willunga Farmers’ Market on the Fleurieu Peninsula. It’s on the way to McLaren Vale, Victor Harbor and Goolwa and is perfect as part of a weekend getaway.
Over in Port Lincoln, fresh seafood is on the menu at the Eyre Peninsula Farmers’ Market. Select from the best fish, olive oil, seasonal fruit and vegetables. Enjoy the sea breeze and blue waters as you indulge in fresh oysters and wine.
