Mt Eliza Farmers Market
The only VFMA-accredited farmers market on the Mornington Peninsula. Only genuine farmers and specialty makers. Monthly on the 4th Sunday. Produce includes Flinders Sourdough, Mumma Made jams, Red Hill Apples, Blue Bay cheese. VFMA accreditation guarantees farm-gate authenticity.
Mt Eliza runs the fourth Sunday of every month in the village precinct. The VFMA accreditation is the point: no resellers, no imports dressed up as local. Flinders Sourdough, Mumma Made, Red Hill Apples, Blue Bay cheese: a tight, quality lineup rather than 200 stalls of variable quality.
The move: go for the weekly shop, not the day out. Bring bags and an esky, hit it by 9:30am, then stay for brunch in the village. The right market if you care about provenance over volume.
