Slow Food West Footscray Farmers Market

With more than 50 stallholders, West Footscray is our largest market and has its own energy. Held at Johnson Reserve on the second Saturday of every month, you'll find fresh produce, artisan bread, meat, cheese, eggs, honey, pastries, condiments, local alcohol, plus delicious hot food and excellent coffee. The market draws visitors from West Footscray, Footscray, Yarraville, Seddon, Maidstone and beyond. Kids love the playground, while parents can relax and stock up for the week. Many regulars know their stallholders by name. It's what Good, Clean and Fair looks like.
