What kind of market shopper are you?

The one who arrives with a list and sticks to it? The one who needs a full lap before making any decisions? Or the one who comes for a few essentials and somehow leaves with coffee, chocolate, fresh produce and something they definitely didn’t plan on buying?

That’s the beauty of a farmers market — no two shopping bags ever look quite the same. Whether you’re stocking the fridge, finding something for dinner or simply following whatever catches your eye, there’s always a reason to do one more lap.

Put your market style to the test this Saturday 15 August from 8:00am to 12:30pm at Grosvenor Gardens, Victor Harbor.

And don’t forget the four-legged shoppers Koda’s Kitchen is back in the mix this week with their homemade dog treats — because apparently they deserve something in the market bag too.

Once you’ve worked out what kind of shopper you are, there’s a full market waiting to test the theory — here’s who you’ll find around the gardens this Saturday.

Garry Searle has the mic this Saturday, serving up the tunes while everyone else takes care of the food.

List or no list, one lap or three… we’ll leave the shopping strategy up to you.

If you’ve been waiting for the right Saturday to visit the market… this might be it.

What a first market for Sista’s! Their coffee and açai were a hit, and they’ll be back this Saturday. If you missed out last week, here’s your chance to see what everyone was talking about.

And speaking of things we’ve missed… Hey Baker Middleton is back! After some time away, those loaves will finally be back on the table. We know there are a few of you who’ve been missing your weekly bread fix, so something tells us his stall might be a popular first stop.

We’re also excited to welcome BROT to the market this week. After her daughter was diagnosed with coeliac disease, Silke set out to create the sourdough bread and baked treats her family loved using alternative flours. If you’ve been looking for quality gluten-free baking, this is one stall you won’t want to miss.

There’s plenty more returning to the lineup too. Yumi’s Pantry, Kangaroo Island Living Honey and LardAss Butter will all be with us this week. Be sure to stop by LardAss Butter to try their new Dijon Mustard Butter, alongside their handcrafted range, while you’re there.

Join us this Saturday 8 August from 8:00am to 12:30pm at Grosvenor Gardens, Victor Harbor.

And beyond this week’s visitors, the market will be well stocked with the fresh produce, eggs, baked goods, chocolate, pantry staples and handmade food that keep local shopping interesting.

Nisa Bella has the microphone this week, with live tunes on the menu alongside everything else Saturday has to offer.

Some things are worth coming back for… luckily, you’ll find plenty of them here this Saturday.

Everyone has a reason they come to the market. What’s yours?

For some, it’s filling the fridge with fresh local produce. For others, it’s picking up pantry favourites they can’t find anywhere else. Maybe it’s your weekly coffee, treating yourself to something sweet, saying hello to familiar faces, finding something new to try, or simply enjoying a Saturday morning in the gardens.

Whatever your reason, every visit helps support the growers, makers and small businesses who work hard to bring something special to our community each week.

We’ll be at Grosvenor Gardens, Victor Harbor, this Saturday 25 July from 8:00am to 12:30pm.

Joining us this week we have Pacific Oyster Co. with their fresh local oysters.

And of course, the rest of the market will be filled with the local growers, makers and producers who make every Saturday unique…

The lovely Tanya from Duo of One will be providing the soundtrack to your morning with her live music.

So… what’s the first thing that brings you to the market each Saturday?

How often do you get to meet the person who made your food?

The eggs came from a farm. The vegetables had a season to follow. The bread started with someone’s hands, the chocolate with an idea, and many of the recipes you’ll find around the market have been made, tested and refined over time.

At a farmers market, those stories aren’t hidden behind packaging or a supermarket shelf. The person who grew it, baked it, sourced it, made it or created it is often standing right there.

You can ask them a question. Find out how something was made and even learn what is in season or discover the best way to cook it. And we think that’s pretty special.

Curious to know more about what’s on your plate? Start here…. this Saturday 18 July, 8:00am to 12:30pm at Grosvenor Gardens, Victor Harbor.

A little extra goodness in this week’s lineup  LardAss Butter will be with us this Saturday, bringing their handcrafted cultured butter back to the market.

And there’s plenty more to put a face to this Saturday, with the stalls that fill our market week after week all ready to welcome you…

And on the music front, Nisa Bella is back with us this Saturday  keeping the tunes coming throughout the morning.

Come curious, ask questions and take a little more than food home with you.

See you Saturday.

Every stallholder has found their passion!

One stall is harvesting fresh produce, another is baking bread before sunrise, another is crafting handmade chocolates, bottling condiments, preparing homemade meals or baking treats for dogs.

Different skills, different products and different stories – but the same passion for sharing what they create for our community.

If you’d like to meet the people behind those stalls, we’ll see you this Saturday 11 July from 8:00am to 12:30pm at Grosvenor Gardens, Victor Harbor.

This week we’re pleased to welcome back Yumi’s Pantry and Koda’s Kitchen , each bringing something unique to the market and giving you another reason to wander around.

And that’s only the beginning – there’s a whole market of growers, makers and producers waiting to be discovered.

One thing you can always count on is great music, and Kelly Watson will be taking care of that this Saturday.

Different people. Different stories. One market. We can’t wait to see you on Saturday.

You’re not just buying food – you’re buying someone’s work.

Every stall has someone behind it. Someone growing, making, baking or creating. That’s what makes a farmers market different – you get to meet the people behind the food on your table.

It’s those conversations, the passion and the pride behind every stall that make our market feel like more than just a place to shop.

We’ll see you this Saturday 4 July from 8:00am to 12:30pm at Grosvenor Gardens, Victor Harbor.

Three great examples of that care this week are 7 Virgin Farm with their flavour-packed condiments and pantry favourites, Keep It Simple serving fresh handmade pasta and DuraFungi carefully growing gourmet mushrooms. They’re a perfect reminder of what makes shopping at a farmers market so special.

There’s plenty more waiting for you too, with our regular growers and makers filling the market with fresh, local goodness…

Dean Bird will be with us this Saturday sharing his beautiful vocals while you wander the market.

Behind every stall is someone who loves what they do. We can’t wait to share that with you again this Saturday.

If you’ve been meaning to stop by Saffa Bites, this Saturday’s the one. Saffa Bites will be with us for their final market before a short break, so if their biltong, savoury snacks and South African favourites are usually on your shopping list, this is the week to stock up before they return in August.

They’ll be joined by 7 Virgin Farm with their flavour-packed pantry staples, and Pacific Oyster Co. bringing fresh oysters for those who like their market mornings with a little extra indulgence.

That is your sign to make a market morning of it this Saturday 27 June from 8:00am to 12:30pm at Grosvenor Gardens, Victor Harbor.

And that’s only part of what’s waiting for you this Saturday…
