This Sunday farm market in Hobart's CBD is a very vibrant market. There are lots of produce stands,…read morevarious pastries, raw oysters, different ethnic food, and local items, and coffee stands.

Farm Gate Market, located in the heart of Hobart on Bathurst Street, is a weekly Sunday market with…read moreTasmanian produce, artisanal products, and food trucks. Established in 2009, the market was born out of a vision by founder Madi Peattie, who sought to connect local farmers directly with the community. The market began as a small gathering of farmers and food producers but quickly grew in popularity as both locals and tourists appreciated the quality and variety of goods available. Today, it is home to a diverse range of vendors offering everything from organic fruits and vegetables to Tasmanian honey, cheeses, fresh seafood, baked goods, and more. We strolled through stalls and chatted with friendly vendors eager to share the stories behind their products, and enjoy samples of local favorites. We found... Mother of Pearl Sweeties and this is a must-visit for cookie lovers. We tried the red velvet cheesecake cookie, and let me tell you, it was perfection! The cookie itself had that classic red velvet flavor, rich but not too sweet, with a beautiful, creamy cheesecake filling in the center. It was just the right balance of flavors--soft, a little decadent, and so satisfying. I could easily have eaten ten of these. If you're in Hobart and at the market, do yourself a favor and pick one up!

Their original location moved a few years ago up the road, to a fancier and slightly more spacious location. They still stock mostly local products where possible, specialty items, hard-to-find things and some luxurious treats. Produce is some of the freshest around! Their flagship location on the corner of hill st and Patrick st also has a bottle shop and a florist attached for all your emergency fancy dinner party needs in a hurry. However... the rows are NARROW and when this place gets busy, it gets BUSY. You literally get your ankles banged into, trolleys whip around corners and no matter where you stand, you're always in someone's way. It's almost as if people go into a daze looking for the perfect cumquat they forget to mind where their trolley is going. They're not cheap; you will alway spend more than you've budgeted when you go. Just don't go during peak times!

The deli staff will slice you meat from very vague requests, after offering you a taste (it would be great if they had a list displayed of all those slabs they keep behind them), they also do tubs of salads and have a great selection of bits and pieces (pickled octopus, olives, capsicum, feta, sardines etc.) and storemade meals to reheat, the bread and cakes are a selection from various local bakers (the vanilla slices are amazing and HUGE), the fruit and veggies are fresh and often local - and generally much cheaper than at Coles or Woollies, the cheese selection is great (if often too expensive for my wallet), and the grocery items (chips, biscuits) are often on special too (the blocks of Cadbury chocolate are always $3, so often better value than the chain supermarkets, but they keep them behind the counter so you do have to request them). They do coffee, though I've never tried it, and hot soup in winter. Unlike the original Hill Street they don't do wine, but there is a bottleshop next door. It's much frequented by locals, particularly after school/work, at lunchtime, and on weekends, so the car park can get a little crowded.

Salamanca was the largest market and extended from the entrance by St. David's Park, past Parliament and the Tasman Memorial and ended nearby the Blue Eye Seafood. The market was already bustling and busy when we walked through at 9:30am which was just one hour after the start. This was the largest concentration of people in Hobart we saw during our stay. We saw lots of local Tasmania crafted products, batch distilleries, fresh produce, and a variety of food offerings like scallop pies, burgers and other cuisines. Most were setup under tents but a few food trucks and trailers also. Overall popular for locals and visitors and a good experience to add while in Hobart.

Then why not visit Woolworths! Fun times can be had for everyone as the unmotivated staff move around you, shuffling items in the produce bins to make them look fresher. If you're lucky, you'll find the cheery one on the checkouts that says HI HOW ARE YOU! like he's talking in all caps, and then regale you with highly inappropriate stories about his not-yet-lived life. Don't get me wrong, it's not the employee's fault. In this economy, they'd be silly to turn down any job. A sadly regular part of my life until I find viable alternatives.
