Bonbeach Farmers Market
A school-run farmers market with around 60 stalls on the second Sunday of every month, raising funds for Bonbeach Primary School.

About this market
Bonbeach Farmers Market brings around 60 stalls into the grounds of Bonbeach Primary School on the second Sunday of every month. It is a school-hosted market, so the $2 adult entry and the egg and bacon rolls sold on the day both feed back into the school and its grounds.
Produce, a worm farm and a picnic on the oval
The stall list covers most of a weekly shop: fresh fruit and vegetables including organics, bread, meat, eggs, honey, beer, wine and cakes, plus sustainable refills. The market sells reusable Farmers' Market Bags, so you can fill one on the day. Bonbeach Farmers Market is held on the lands of the Bunurong people, and it acknowledges them as Traditional Owners.
The school's own Green Thumbs stall sells 'Worm Wee', a liquid garden fertiliser made from the school worm farm. Its hot breakfast is an egg and bacon roll, sold as a school fundraiser. The organisers suggest bringing a picnic blanket, grabbing a drink and letting children play in what they describe as a child-friendly environment.
