Overview
The weekly Carriageworks Farmers Market, held every Saturday from 8am–1pm, is one of Sydney's most beloved weekend activities. Makers, producers and artisans from across NSW converge on the site of the former Eveleigh Railways Workshops to sell organic produce, artisanal bread, single-origin coffee, freshly cut flowers and more to the hundreds of Sydneysiders who visit each week.
You'll want to arrive with an empty stomach and spend your first lap of the stalls on the lookout for breakfast, be that a croissant from AP Bakery, a gözleme from Baba's Place or perhaps a classic British bite from Crumpets by Merna. Then it's time to turn your thoughts to the pantry as you peruse the wares of Enokido Miso, Condimental, Maya Sunny Honey and Currong Comestibles. Now, the fresh produce beckons and whether you're a dedicated vegan or a card-carrying carnivore, there are delights both animal and vegetable to add to your basket.
Part of the joy of shopping at a market like this is the opportunity to talk to the passionate people behind the goods. Take the time to learn their stories and you'll be rewarded with a whole new appreciation of the craft and care that goes into the bountiful harvests we lucky Sydneysiders have access to each and every week.
