Alphington Farmers Market: Every Sunday, Alphington

About this market

Alphington Farmers Market trades on a site with a genuinely unglamorous past: once old council offices set in a barren concrete scape, it's been transformed into a productive community meeting place, now hosting more than 30 stallholders each Sunday. The transformation reflects a broader mission run by Melbourne Farmers Markets, a not-for-profit that has operated farmers markets across the city since 2002, when its very first market opened at Collingwood Children's Farm.

From barren concrete to a VFMA-accredited farmers market

That not-for-profit backing means every stallholder here has passed Victorian Farmers' Market Association accreditation, a genuine guarantee of authenticity rather than resold wholesale stock. Free-range meat, fruit and vegetables, nuts, eggs and cheese fill the stalls, with entry by donation rather than a fixed fee, a structure that keeps the market accessible while still supporting its ethical-food mission.

Reviewers consistently describe the market as small but genuinely worthwhile, praising friendly vendors and a fantastic selection even at a modest scale, with the Pastrami Croissants from To Be Frank singled out as a specific must-try when the stall is present.

Did you know?

Alphington Farmers Market trades on land that used to be old council offices surrounded by barren concrete, now transformed into a productive weekly gathering place for local farmers and food producers.

Good to know before you go

Not every stallholder attends every week, so a specific favourite like a particular food van is worth checking is actually on-site before making a special trip. Entry by donation rather than a set fee makes it an easy, low-pressure market to add to a Sunday routine.
