An ethically minded cafe making the most of Gippsland’s diverse harvests.

On the third Saturday of each month, the Warragul Farmers Market brings together more than 60 local producers from the Gippsland region. Organic vegetable growers sit alongside in-season berries and off-season preserves from Sunny Creek Organic, Persian-style feta from Wattlebank Park Farm, wood-fired sourdough from Cannibal Creek Bakehouse, seafood from Lakes Entrance, seedlings from Clear Creek Herb Farm and delicately handpicked saffron from Saffron Willis. There’s live music, coffee, chai and plenty of foodstuffs to enjoy once you’ve done your grocery rounds. 8:30am–1pm.
