Our Mission

Driven by our passion for supporting local growers, artisans, and the community, the mission of the Adelaide Showgrounds Farmers Market is to provide a dynamic platform where fresh, seasonal produce and unique artisan food are showcased. We aim to create a welcoming environment that encourages sustainable living, fosters connections between producers and consumers, and educates visitors about the importance of mindful consumption. Through our commitment to quality, integrity, and collaboration, we strive to enrich lives, promote wellbeing, and contribute to the vitality of South Australia’s local economy.

Adelaide Showground Farmers' Market is an incorporated not-for-profit organisation, supported by over 3,000 members. The first market was held on 2 October 2006. The market was established with the assistance of the Royal Agricultural and Horticultural Society. 

Our Vision

To be the beating heart of South Australia’s sustainable food culture, fostering connections between local producers and the community through a vibrant and enriching farmers market experience.
