Fresh, delicious and ready to go! This Saturday, October 17, we’re bringing you fresh oysters from Foreshore Oysters, and you won’t want to miss out!

There’s nothing better than a fresh oyster to kick off the weekend. Whether you love them natural with a squeeze of fresh lemon, topped with a tangy shallot and red wine vinegar dressing, or with a little chilli and lime for an extra kick, there’s a way to enjoy them for everyone.

Feeling indulgent? Try them Kilpatrick-style with smoky bacon and Worcestershire sauce, or grilled with garlic butter for a rich, savoury twist. Prefer something fresh and zesty? An Asian-inspired dressing with soy, ginger, chilli and lime is always a winner.

So, how do you like your oysters? However you enjoy them, one thing’s for sure — fresh oysters are hard to beat!

We’ll have our Foreshore Oysters fresh and ready to go this Saturday, but be quick — they sell out fast!

Join us on Saturday, October 17, get in early and enjoy these beauties while they last. You won’t want to miss them!

There’s something special about a morning at the Sunraysia Farmers and Makers Market.

Enjoying glorious sunshine-y days, cloudless skies and our stunning riverside setting, the market is a wonderful place to discover the very best of Sunraysia’s produce, creativity and craftsmanship.

Our market showcases incredible regional talent, with artists, potters, creators, authors and makers bringing their passion and talent to the river each market day.

Our farmers and producers offer some of the best local flavours around, from delicious cakes and fresh fruit and vegetables straight from the farm, to locally crafted wine, freshly baked breads and rolls, and so much more.

But the market is about more than shopping.

It’s a place to meet friends, catch up with the community, relax and unwind while enjoying wonderful local music and, of course, our most incredible breakfast selection.

So come down to the river, grab a coffee, enjoy a delicious breakfast, listen to some local music, wander through the stalls and discover something wonderful to take home.

Come for the produce and handcrafted items. Stay for the atmosphere, the people and the beautiful riverside morning.

Sunraysia Farmers and Makers Market — where local comes together.

We’re excited to welcome EnviroEDU to our market on September 19 as we celebrate the arrival of the school holidays.

There’s a delicious new face at the markets, and Wild Rise by Em is already causing quite a stir! After selling out at both of her markets, it’s clear that these scrumptious sourdough creations are becoming a must-try.

Em’s warm, freshly baked sourdough scrolls, generously finished with luscious cream and irresistible toppings, are the ultimate market treat. Think tiramisu, salted caramel, Biscoff, Oreo, cinnamon and chocolate—with plenty of tempting flavours to make choosing just one almost impossible!

Perfectly indulgent and absolutely delicious, these scrolls are the kind of treat you’ll want to come back for again and again.

With Em already selling out at every market, you’ll want to get in early and make sure you’re first in line. Whether you’re treating yourself, grabbing something special to enjoy with your coffee, or taking one home for later, Wild Rise by Em is one market stall you definitely don’t want to miss!

We love celebrating the amazing contribution of our young volunteers, especially Brenna and Kayla.

It has been such a pleasure watching them grow, build confidence, and develop new skills while being part of our team. We’re proud to support young people through training, encouragement, volunteer hour support, and letters of support for applications that recognise their community involvement.

Our friendly and welcoming team is open to volunteers of all ages. Whether you’re looking to gain experience, make new friends, learn new skills, or simply give back to the community, we’d love to have you join us.

Thank you to Brenna, Kayla, and all our wonderful volunteers for helping our not-for-profit organisation make a difference.

We’re thrilled to celebrate the beautiful news that Nicole and Ilario from Horizon Prints have recently eloped at the stunning Mount Buller. After 10 years together, this special moment marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter as husband and wife.

Many of you will know Nicole and Ilario through the incredible work they create at Horizon Prints. What started in 2021 as a simple idea sparked by their love of creating has grown into a business they can be truly proud of. Built from countless late nights, learning along the way, and the support of their family, friends, and wonderful community, Horizon Prints is a true reflection of their passion and dedication.

Every order, design, and product carries a little piece of their story. From creating personalised pieces and bringing customers’ ideas to life, to printing, packing, and setting up at local markets, Nicole and Ilario pour their hearts into everything they do.

We couldn’t be happier for you both and wish you a lifetime filled with love, laughter, adventure, and many more special memories together. Congratulations on this beautiful milestone, and here’s to the next chapter for both your marriage and Horizon Prints.

This Saturday at the Sunraysia Farmers Market, we’re celebrating a remarkable milestone as Josephene by Jo Luchessi marks 20 years in business.

This year, we are delighted to celebrate a very special milestone—Fred Varacalli turning 80 years young.

For many many years, Fred has been a familiar and much-loved face at the Sunraysia Farmers and Makers Market, where his fresh fruit and vegetables, and friendly smile have become part of the market experience. While customers have always come for the quality produce, they have stayed because of the warmth and kindness Fred brings to every market day.

Fred represents everything our market stands for: supporting local growers, building community connections, and sharing the fruits of hard work with others. His dedication as a fruit and vegetable provider has inspired generations of shoppers to appreciate fresh, locally grown produce and the people who work tirelessly to bring it to our tables.

Rain, shine, hot summer mornings, or crisp winter days, Fred has always shown up with pride, offering not only exceptional vegetables but also stories, laughter, and a welcoming presence that makes everyone feel welcome. His commitment has helped shape the welcoming atmosphere that makes the Sunraysia Farmers and Makers Market such a special place.

Reaching 80 is an incredible achievement, and Fred continues to demonstrate that age is simply a number. His passion, energy, and love for the local community remain as strong as ever.

On behalf of everyone at the Sunraysia Farmers and Makers Market, we extend our heartfelt congratulations and sincere thanks to Fred for his years of dedication, friendship, and service. Your contribution has enriched our market and our community in countless ways.

Happy 80th Birthday, Fred!

Here’s to celebrating a remarkable life, a remarkable grower, and a remarkable gentleman. We wish you good health, happiness, and many more wonderful years doing what you love.

Thank you, Fred. You are truly one of the cornerstones of our market family.

We recently had the pleasure of catching up and chatting with Paul Jenkins from Out and About Sunraysia.

Paul made a visit to our market and we had a great time talking about the wonderful showcase our market represents for local growers, producers and makers.

Our new logo has been freshly splashed across the market and we couldn’t be happier! We truly can’t express how perfectly this beautiful design, created by the incredibly talented Rhian McLeod, captures everything we are about.

From the gum leaves and the laughing kookaburra to the little nods to our market spoils — fresh macaroons, freshly brewed coffee, wood-baked bread, the freshest produce and our amazing makers — it reflects the heart of our creative community.

Our breakfast stall was incredibly popular this weekend… and it’s easy to see why! A full farmers breakfast for just $17 was the perfect way to warm up on a winter’s morning. Our new tablecloths looked a treat, and our wonderful volunteer crew were thrilled with their fresh new aprons.

We are so proud of this new chapter and can’t wait to share it with you all at the next market!
