Kangaroo Valley Farmers Market

Kangaroo Valley Farmers Market sets up on the grounds of The Friendly Inn, a heritage hotel at 159 Moss Vale Road, on the second Sunday of every month from 9am to 1pm. It is one of the few regular farmers markets in this pocket of the NSW Southern Highlands, and it is run not by a commercial market company but by the pub's own Friendly Inn Community Garden committee, under the umbrella of the Kangaroo Valley Chamber of Tourism and Commerce.

What's on the stalls

Stallholders bring meat, fruit, vegetables, herbs, eggs, jams, pickles and pastries sourced from Kangaroo Valley, the wider Shoalhaven and the Southern Highlands. The market's stated aim is to connect growers directly with the community, giving both locals and visitors a way to buy sustainable, local produce without a shop or wholesaler in between. Because it runs only once a month, stallholders tend to bring whatever is genuinely ready that week rather than holding stock over, so the exact mix shifts across the seasons.

Good to know before you go

The market's own NSW Government events listing notes that the venue does not currently cater for people with access needs, so anyone with mobility requirements should plan accordingly or contact the organisers directly before visiting. Entry fee and parking details are not published, and Kangaroo Valley itself is a scenic but out-of-the-way drive for most visitors, so it suits being built into a wider day out in the valley rather than a quick errand stop.

Because the market operates on a single fixed Sunday each month rather than weekly, checking the current date before travelling out is worth doing, especially since stallholder numbers and the exact produce mix can vary from one month to the next.
