Tarana Community Farmers' Markets

A community and fresh food market with the primary purpose is to provide the opportunity for purchase of products direct from local farms and kitchens, where the produce is grown, livestock raised and artisan products are made.

Customers can meet the farmers, learn about how their food is produced, and stall holders have a local outlet for sale of their products, all in the centre of the beautiful Tarana valley.

Established in 2015 the market has grown from its humble beginnings to a thriving monthly event with over 50 stall holders. Products range from farm meats, free range eggs, fruit and vegetables, jams and preserves, cakes and sweets, breads and salami, local wines to live alpacas. Shady umbrellas provide a place to sit and relax while listening to the buskers and enjoying locally produced market food and coffee.

The markets also have another important function. Money raised by the markets is used in support of the Tarana Rural Fire Service (RFS), or put towards other community projects. They have been able to provide useful equipment that helps enormously with the marvellous work the RFS does for the community. The Tarana Community Farmers Market proudly supports the Tarana Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade.
