We believe accredited farmers markets provide an important avenue for our Victorian producers to get their produce to shoppers and for shoppers to get the best prices possible

​

While supermarkets are captive to importers and high transport costs, farmers travelling shorter distances can keep prices down. On average, farmers prices have increased by less than 3% over the last 12 months

 

Farmers markets were defined as an essential service during the pandemic - and they continue to be essential during this cost of living crisis​
