This is a great little market which is the first and third Sunday of every month…read more Unfortunately they don't seem to have many regular stallholders, so don't have your mind set on a particular stall.. Some Sunday's there are only a small handful of stalls... It seems to be weather dependent. Those who seem to be regular are the great organic vege stall, I think they're called Spring Creek organics, they have a great selection of seasonal produce, the organic chocolate stall and there are usually 2 bakery stalls, both selling yummy artisan breads. There is a fabulous homemade dip stall, but on the first Sunday of the month, you can also buy the most amazing falafel pita pocket. Make sure you save space for this! Today there was also a homemade crumpet stall, free range eggs, a tomato stall and an apple stall that also sold Apple juice. There was a seafood stall, a pistachio stall and also a representative from the Hobson's Bay council giving information about capital spending and asking for residents advice.. This was all happening outside in the substation carpark while inside the substation a craft market was set up, but only on the first Sunday of the month...

One of only two accredited farmer's markets in the western suburbs (the other is in Flemington),…read morethe Newport Farmer's market at Substation is on every first and third Sunday of the month. It's a small market but has some fantastic purveyors, like the dude with the forearm sized leeks (three biggies for five dollars!), purple carrots, and golden beetroot. Other highlights include some wonderful French style cheese, pickles, Shepherd avocados, and organic breads and ciders. La Tortilleria is here every third Sunday selling freshly made tortillas, nachos, and authentic tamales. We like to come to the Substation with the dog, grab some veggies, and a takeaway coffee, and then head over to the Newport/Williamstown foreshore for a picnic and a long walk.

The variety of stalls present at this market is always good. There is usually a nice selection of vegetable stall holders, always a few good options for breads as well as hot foods. I love the buffalo Sausages and the fresh cheese!

You can have organic produce without being certified though, so best to talk directly to the individual stallholders.

The stall holders vary from week to week so best check the website for who is scheduled to be there. Plenty of food options for breakfast or lunch too, although the coffee is a bit hit and miss.

I really do like these farmers markets, though of course I'm not going to travel all the way down…read moreto Dandenong just to visit this particular one. However, I still think these places are pretty cool, especially with the diverse range of produce, and this particular market is definitely no different. Actually, it is larger than some of the others located around Melbourne, and has been divided up between the produce section, and what I can the nik-naks section, though that is generally the case with most of them as well. Yeah, this place is pretty cool.

I absolutely love shopping here. A few booths sell items at very low prices. I bought some…read moregreeting cards for $1.50 each, and I got scarves and gloves for very cheap. For some booths, the prices aren't as low here as they are at nearby thrift stores, but there are many friendly and helpful vendors here. I bought some of the cutest and warmest jumpers (sweaters) for $25 each. Currently the outfit I'm wearing is 75% compiled from clothes I bought from this market. Come during lunch hour and watch a cooking demonstration. At the end, you walk away with delicious fresh free food. They also have a wonderful variety of cuisine from around the world to buy here. On my first trip, I bought Mauritian food, which cost less than $5 for two items. Other than clothes and food, you can find electronic accessories, jewelry, toys, movies, and various other items. I bought my auntie some lovely natural soaps from here. Just make sure you have enough cash before hitting the shopping stalls. Some places will accept cards, but not all. There are a few ATM's in the market if you need to withdraw cash.
