Regional Farmers Markets will host its first market at Abbotsford Convent on Saturday 13 May with about 40 stallholders selling goods such as organic fruit and vegetables and gourmet pies.

David Tatman from Spring Creek Organics is one of the stallholders returning to the farmers market at the Abbotsford Convent.Abbotsford Farmers Market was one of Melbourne’s first community produce markets and had traded for more than 20 years until its operator, Melbourne Farmers Market, shut it down in January this year.

Director Claire Crocker said the operator came on board at the behest of some of the previous stallholders, who were“We had a number of our stallholders who were also at the prior market contact us incredibly upset about the closure,” she said. David Tatman of Spring Creek Organics said he had been disappointed by the closure and was optimistic about the prospects for the new endeavour.

“There are so many [farmers] markets now in Victoria, there is a massive over-population but this is in a good spot and hopefully it picks back up in the right hands,” she said. “We are equally a place for making as well as presenting.

The stallholders are all very genuine producers of incredible products from beautiful honey, to people who run orchards to cheese makers,” she said.
