Jan Powers markets at New Farm, Powerhouse
I love the Rocklea Night Markets (on Wednesday nights) – great produce, cheap prices, coffee, wine, cheese and no kids in tow – what more could you ask for ;)
I agree with Nicole, the Farmers Markets at the Powerhouse at New Farm rock!!
The quality at the Powerhouse markets is top-notch but the prices are way too high and the crowds are crazy.
I’m not going to tell you which is the best market in Brisbane, because I don’t want more people to find out about it!
I’ve been really happy with the Jan Power’s Farmers Markets in Reddacliff Place on Wednesdays. I love having all that produce at my fingertips during my working week, and the prices have been really good mostly too. I’ve found myself shopping smarter and eating healthier since they set up.
Jan Powers Farmer’s Market in Queen Street – Have a read and view of the photos I took here: http://journonews.com/2009/08/09/a-taste-of-natures-true-bounty/
Am a bit over JP’s markets. Some great stuff but a whole lot of pretention too. Not an entirely relaxing experience. I reckon people should try a range of markets to find what fits them.
There are so many markets to choose from now. Kelvin Grove Village markets are great and friendly. Eagle Farm are a great new runner and offer a great day out for the whole family – pony rides, face painting etc for the kids. I’m excited about the new Balmoral markets about to start too. Clearly I get around and think that’s a good way to do, try different ones and find which ones you like.
Chandler Markets & Northey St City Farm for organic veg.
The West End Markets in Davies Park. But go to Jan Powers instead (I hate it when mine are busy on a Saturday morning :)
Its great that we have lots of food markets in Brisbane now, my personal favourite is JP Mitchelton market. I like to get there early, (5:30-6:00 am) Grab a coffee, have a browse and then buy some great produce and have a chat to the stall holders.
Don’t forget the weekend markets at southbank are
a great place to go or take visitors (friday night sat and sun)
.It is not fruit and veg but it does have a lot of of emerging local designers producing all sorts of handmade funky jewellery and clothing and homeware. You will be surprised…I was!
I love the West End markets! I always enjoy heading there on a Saturday morning when I’m in Bris and getting my fruit and veg and then I enjoy a cardamom coffee and watch whatever live music they’ve got going on.
I recently went to the Kelvin Grove markets and was pleasantly surprised by the range of food.
I love markets!!
The Inala Civic Centre has it all – and it’s a hipster-free zone as well.
Chandler markets are great. Good for fruit and vege and has a huge variety of others things as well.
The sad things about the Jan Powers markets as there arent many ‘true farmers’ there – i went a week or so before xmas and the true farmers including, beef pork and strawberries were in 2 inches of mud – way to treat your very few farmers jan powers.
The Mummy Tree Markets is a great ‘family’ market and has unique products for the family – mostly handmade. They also have food and really good children’s entertainment. Access is great and it starts at 9am so great especially on a Sunday. They have markets in 3 different places in Brisbane, Toowoomba and the Gold Coast too. Check them out they have a website and are on facebook.
Love Jan Power’s farmers market at New Farm. Definitely my favourite.
I like to go to the Jan Powers Markets either Powerhouse Or Manly – HOWEVER they are getting overpriced, the produce isn’t as fresh and the crowds are NUTS!
I would like to vote for the Eagle Farm markets, very well setup, cheap parking (YOU CAN GET A PARK!) things there for kids (not that I have any) great range of produce, craft, food stalls and my personal favourite THE FLOWER MAN, this guy is great, great range, great value, great product and best of all GREAT! LOL
Try it out, I’m going this Sunday to pick up some flowers and some new gluten free products.
