Palm Beach Farmers Market

Palm Beach Farmers Market has traded since 2000, making it one of the Gold Coast's longest-running farmers markets, a quarter-century of continuous Saturday mornings run by the same operator, The Market Co GC, throughout. That kind of operator continuity is genuinely rare among weekly markets, most of which change hands or formats at least once over a comparable stretch of time.

Nearly 25 years under the same operator

More than 75 stallholders now trade here weekly on the grounds of Currumbin State High School, offering a wide variety of fresh produce, meats, seafood, dairy and baked goods, with a strong showing of organic, vegan and gluten-free options for shoppers with specific dietary needs. Reviewers regularly compare it to Burleigh Markets, noting a similar quality bar with a slightly smaller footprint and fewer craft stalls, but an equally strong food offering.

Reviewers consistently praise the mix of covered areas that keep the market working even in rain, alongside a specific favourite in a buckwheat pancake with truffles and mushrooms, and a genuinely good range of vegan options that reviewers say they're happy to see represented so well.

Good to know before you go

A few covered areas make it a workable wet-weather option compared with fully open-air markets nearby. Reviewers often compare it favourably to Burleigh Markets, worth visiting both if choosing between similar Gold Coast Saturday options.
