For me not much beats a sunny Saturday strolling a farmers market with an organic mocha and almond…read morecroissant in hand. This is one of the best farmers markets to do that. London and California have some pretty good ones but this is up there with the finest. I love the way the stall make a horse shoe shape around Civic park - you can meander past all the food and finish up in the grassy centre so that you can munch on all your new delights. Last market I bough a giant size broccoli that must have been cut at the roots because it was about the size of five supermarket broccoli attached together. Because they were attached to the main stem it lasted for a good week and a half and that wasn't because it went off but rather we ate all. Even better - it cost about $4 - bargain. Saying that, whilst much of the seasonal fruit and vegetables are reasonably prices many of the other products aren't so cheap. Organic meats, milk, wood fired breads, fresh pasta, bottled sauces, organic coffee beans, gluten free sweets, fresh muesli, tea tonics, natural skin care ranges, fresh flowers, organic cider and a stall with a banana bread stacked wall are some of the pricier items. Some of my favourite buys have been a cashew nut spread, beetroot hummus and edible zucchini flowers. There is usually a good busker strumming out some tunes too - I like to pop him my gold change from that indulgent mocha I bought! It happens on the third Saturday of every month from 8am - 12pm. Under cover parking is available in the Ridge St. car park behind Civic Park.

Sometimes they stop, other times i reckon they will be back just to see what's going on. The best bit of it being quiet is that you don't have to queue too long for the bacon & egg roll or coffee AND you can really get to know the people who work there. Sadly for me I can't get there every week: bit of a market freak so I have to share the love and explore others but if you haven't gone, give it a go cause honestly, it's worth it. We all need to slow down and just "be" and I reckon this market is the perfect place for it

If you get hungry, there are tons of food vendors. Personally, I have only had the gozleme, which I quite enjoyed. A Turkish concoction which can only be described as a spinach Taco Bell Crunchwrap with lemon on top. I actually planned my vacations so that I could be here on the fourth Saturday of the month -- while both living in Sydney and visiting. I believe they have an extra market in December (or maybe they move the date?). It also happens to be located in one of the more picturesque spots in Sydney, great view of the Harbour Bridge! Anyway, it is conveniently located next to the Kirribilli train station and once you're done, there are tons of cafes to check out, grab a flat white and admire your wares.

Every second Sunday of the month, Kirribilli Market shows up at Milsons Point. It's next to the…read moretrain station and under the bridge. It's free to walk around and shop. I went one time and saw mostly handmade crafts and trinkets. There was even a vendor selling visors for dogs. The memorable one for me was Lunar Crafts because her crochet work was so good. There are a handful coffee and food vendors but not much to get full. On the green there were what looked like to me people selling their closets. A lot of signs read "need everything gone" and "buy 5 for $5". They had mostly clothes but also shoes. It's fun to walk around and get views of the Anzac bridge, the Sydney harbor bridge, and the Opera House. Luna Park is not too far away. Parking - free and paid parking on the street.

The remit for Mosman market appears to be handmade and beautiful - we don't really care if it's…read moreorganic or not. It is definitely the place to head to if you're looking for a gift. Priority is given to hand crafted and home produced goods and this ensures that the goods on sale are unique and usually of a high quality. This arts and crafts market suits the affluent demographic of the area perfectly and there is always a lot of foot traffic; though how many are actually buying is another matte,r as the stall holders tend to remain constant, so once you've seen the offerings it can get a little tiresome. Many stalls focus on children's clothing, accessories and toys -think Cath Kidson/Penny Scanlan - lots of flowery bonnets, retro cowboy/spaceman designs and wooden toys. There's jewellery in a range of price brackets and styles: from dainty silver earrings to chunky resin necklaces. I once bought the most delightful butterfly wing earrings that had been 'frozen' in resin (not good for ones Karma though I'm pretty sure). Artists that display here tend to be pretty conservative or focus on photography of the local area. There's clothing, leather goods, soy candles as well as food stalls selling pretty cupcakes, chutneys and relishes, olive oils from the Hunter and organic honey. There are a small number of fast food outlets one selling Dutch Pancakes that are just sensational. Mosman Markets occur on the Mosman Square and Village Green on the first Saturday of every month, pretty much come rain hail or shine; they're a hardy bunch the Mosman Marketers though they didn't have it too touch today, in beautiful 26 degree autumn day. Nice to kick back and relax to the jazz band that play around mid-morning.

The market on the 4th Sunday has a much better selection of stalls so you should choose this one shop , I wouldn't bother with the other one on the 2nd Saturday of the month. I highly recommend that you try the following beautiful fresh farm eggs - they taste divine any of the goats cheese from Willowbrae you can find in the stall inside in th hall freshly picked flowers - always good quality- if you ask the owner, she will give you tips on how to keep them alive as long as possible the brownies from the brownie lady inside the hall - all options are delicious and you can buy different sizes to suit your needs the olives - also inside the hall. I recommend the big green olives - they are delicious they also have organic vegetables milk beef, lamb, duck, producers there as well as a few pastry stalls with gerat pies cakes and delicious breads all in all, a good selection. My husband only comes to the markets to eat the bacon and egg rolls and get a fresh orange juice - he says they are both the best he has tasted go to the stall which has the long line of hungry people.

In a city with 30-40% population with pets, it's unbelievable that one cannot do their shopping, browsing with their dog. I can understand when the school is on that dogs are not allowed in the school grounds but on weekends at a public market where you are expecting me to come and support local business I have to leave my dog outside unattended on the street ?? It's ridiculous at best. The school principal has the right to change this, not just benefit from us locals turning up to support this. As a matter of principle I would never go here again. I encourage other dog owners to do the same and send a message :-)

My recent love is that of the Common Ground Bakery's carob fudge. So enamoured was I that not only did I attempt to be polite and share it with others, we (collectively as a group) dashed back and bought more cause one bite is simply not enough! The gluten-free fare is so sophisticate that for the un-educated you really wouldn't know. Chez Immi (and she is an absolute doll!) has insane quiches, Silvia (Gluten Free Cuisine) not only has an incredible array of breads and cakes but has the much desired pasta and it is absolutely mouth-watering. They say that everything old is new again and that is absolutely the case with the Lavender & Neem stall. Old fashioned moth deterrent by way of lavender bags: cheap as chips and smell heavenly and I tried one of their lavender boiled sweets: now THAT is something that needs to be tasted. A lovely sense of camaraderie is felt at every turn with stallies greeting you like old friends and happy to trade recipes or suggestions for the menu. Get there if you can!
