Upper Murray Farmers Market
A summer-season farmers market in Attree Park at Corryong, three hours upriver from Albury and a short drive from the New South Wales border.
About this market
The Upper Murray Farmers Market keeps a summer calendar. It sets up in Attree Park in the middle of Corryong on a Saturday morning, 9am to 12pm, through a season that runs from roughly October to April, and then goes quiet for the coldest months in a town 120 kilometres east of Albury-Wodonga, near the upper reaches of the Murray and close to the New South Wales border.
Produce from the far end of the Murray
What is on the tables is what the Upper Murray grows: fresh local produce, seasonal fruit and vegetables, locally grown flowers, homemade goods and artisan treats. The catchment is small and remote, which shapes the market more than any operator decision does. Corryong had a population of 1,348 at the 2016 census, and it sits near the upper reaches of the Murray, close to the New South Wales border and a long way from any city. Stall enquiries go to a single address, [email protected], and the market posts its dates on its own Facebook page rather than to a fixed calendar.
Market at a glance
The town this market serves has a claim on one of the country's best-known poems.
Corryong claims the Man from Snowy River. Jack Riley, the hermit stockman employed by Greg Greg Station for 23 years to run cattle at Tom Groggin, 60 kilometres upriver, is the town's link to the poem, and Corryong holds the Man from Snowy River Bush Festival every year on the strength of it. The same district was burnt through by the fires of the 2019 and 2020 summer.
Good to know before you go
Check the date before you drive, because this is the one detail the listings do not agree on. Both of the region's own event guides give a monthly Saturday, 9am to 12pm, and both point you at the market's Facebook page for the actual date, so treat that as the source rather than any directory. The season is the other trap: outside roughly October to April there is nothing on, and one listing extends the season to May while another stops at April, so late-season visits are worth confirming. Attree Park is on Hanson Street in the centre of Corryong, so parking is easy and the town's pub and shops are a short walk. Bring cash, and bring a box if you plan to buy fruit, because this is a growers' market at the far end of the valley rather than a craft market with produce attached.
