Kings Cross Organic Food Market
A Saturday market that grew from a fortnightly bric-a-brac stall into a full organic farmers market circling Fitzroy Gardens' Dandelion Fountain.
About this market
Kings Cross Organic Food Market trades every Saturday around the Dandelion Fountain in Fitzroy Gardens, but it wasn't always a farmers market in this form. Records trace it back to at least 2008, when it operated as a fortnightly bric-a-brac Sunday market before evolving into the weekly Saturday organic food market shoppers know today.
From a fortnightly bric-a-brac stall to a Saturday food destination
That shift from secondhand goods to organic produce reflects a broader change in what Potts Point locals wanted from their local market: fresh organic and conventional fruit and vegetables, freshly baked bread, artisan cheeses and gourmet delicacies now anchor the Saturday morning, backed by a genuinely diverse hot food line-up covering bacon and egg rolls, Turkish gozleme and dumplings alongside vegan options like acai bowls and pastries.
