As little piggies who love going to the market, rest assured The G&G knows all about the local scene—from where to find the odd rambutan or four-for-the-price-of-one mangoes, to bagging avocados that aren’t Shepherds (fess up peeps—we all know Hass is better).
Ditch the single-use plastic and don the overalls, Brisbane – it’s time to shop.
URBAN PRODUCE MARKET | SOUTH BRISBANE | Saturdays, 7 am–1 pm
Fish Lane’s Wandering Cooks is giving Brisbanites the opportunity to purchase produce directly from local growers and producers at their weekly Urban Produce Market.

Better yet, coffee and ready-to-eat goodies are always available courtesy of the Wandering Cooks team!
DAVIES PARK MARKETS ǀ WEST END | Saturdays, 6 am–2 pm
West End has a food market as eclectic as the locals? How bazaar, how bazaar.
