Since 2002, the Albany Farmers Market has transformed a car park in the heart of Albany's historic CBD into a thriving Saturday morning marketplace. Local producers from the Great Southern region bring fresh seasonal produce and sell direct to consumers — fruit, vegetables, organic beef and lamb, venison, kangaroo, free-range chicken, fish, seafood, honey, bread, yoghurt, cheese, milk, cream, ice cream, oils, jams, preserves and fresh flowers. Many locals rely on the market for their major weekly shop. The market provides a place for local growers to sell their products direct to consumers, and for locals and visitors alike to access quality produce from across the region.
