Farmers and community markets across the Mid North Coast

Every week, there's an opportunity on the Mid North Coast to buy locally-grown fresh fruit and vegetables and support local makers and bakers. It makes our little wedge of NSW the perfect place for community and farmer’s markets.

Our beach and river-side market sites are a great place to spend your weekend with friends and family, with the majority of the markets also featuring live music as well.

Below, you’ll find our guide to Mid North Coast markets, which should make it easy to plan a visit to any of the growers and farmers markets for your weekly grocery shop, and pop in your calendars a day to hunt through second-hand clothing, vintage accessories and collectible items, or bring home yet another plant.
