Sydney's Own Farmers Market
Growers Market
A daily outlet for Sydney-region growers to sell fruit, vegetables and herbs grown on their own farms.
Sydney Markets' very own farmers market, the Sydney Growers Market, provides a daily outlet for growers to sell their own fruit, vegetables and herbs grown and harvested on their farms within the Sydney area.
Originally known as the Number 6 Growers Market at Haymarket in 1936, the Sydney Growers Market moved to Building D at Sydney Markets in 1975. It has since become the premier growers market in New South Wales, playing a vital role in the Australian central market system.
It is a one-stop shop for buyers to compare prices and products and trade in an open, competitive market.

The mix of fruit and vegetables traded at Sydney Growers Market has evolved over the years to reflect the cultural diversity of Australia.
Post-war immigration in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s led to a distinct European flavour taking hold, while the past two decades have seen an increase in Asian and Middle Eastern growers and an array of different Asian vegetables and exotic fruits.
