Organic produce is free from the kinds of chemicals you often find in supermarket produce. It is grown, packaged and sold with the intention to leave as small a carbon footprint as possible.

Organic street markets often also have non-food related products that may be of interest to your family.

Brisbane markets

Northey St Organic Market

Northey St Organic Market is incredible! Coffee, a wide range of fruits and vegetables, eggs, honey, fair trade everything and music performers! There is also a cute little farm attached to the markets. This is definitely a great choice for Brisbane families. The markets can get busy – there is parking inside the area but if that fills up you’ll have to park on the street. Be cautious about signage as there are parking inspectors and you don’t want to add that cost to your shop!

  • Hours: Sundays, 6am – 11am
  • Address: 16 Victoria St, Windsor

Nundah Farmers Market
