Cheap eats and fresh produce. Here’s our Gippsland Farmers Markets list for this June
Distilled spirits, scones with jam and cream, handcrafted woodwork; get your market fix and support local business.

What farmers markets are on in Gippsland this June? You’ve come to the right place.
A few Gippsland markets put their events on hold for the winter months but there are still plenty that keep providing fresh produce, scrumptious food and handmade arts and crafts through the chilly season.
Gippsland markets provide a great opportunity to support local businesses and community endeavours while often paying less for produce and products than what you would normally pay in a supermarket.
Check out our list of markets on this June below and send us an email at [email protected] if we’ve missed any and we’ll make sure to add it to our list.
