    Melbourne Farmers Markets - Alphington

    Melbourne Farmers Markets is a not for profit social enterprise which brings a host of Victorian farmers and food producers together every month through seven vibrant farmers’ markets across Melbourne.

    Set amongst the bustling Melbourne Innovation Centre is Alphington Farmers’ Market featuring a range of stallholders bringing fresh, seasonal produce from their farms across Victoria. Every week you’ll find fresh fruit and vegetables, free-range eggs and meats, olives and oil, honey, nuts and grains, dairy and cheeses, bread and pastries. There’s coffee, fresh OJ and loads for brekkie or to take home for lunch.

    MFM’s site is a circular food economy in action with their business incubation facilities including co-working office space, coolroom and distribution services, commercial kitchen and outdoor event space for hire, providing an urban base for regional businesses. MFM is also a founding partner of Moving Feast, providing food growing spaces and produce for food relief plus initiatives diverting food waste into value-added produce for retail sale.
