oil, wine, pasta sauce, fresh coffee and much more. The market has a good community feel with the Children are catered for with face painting, a jumping castle and a nearby playground whilst the adults can enjoy some hot food and a coffee while listening to some local performers. I was pleased to see that the Mornington Farmers Market is accredited with the VFMA which means all stall holders must abide by strict criteria to be accepted into the market so you can be guaranteed that you are buying from authentic producers and supporting locals. You’ll find the Mornington Farmers Market in the park at the end of Main Street on the second Saturday of each month between 8:30am -1pm all year round. Entry is $2 per adult which goes to the local charity group that mans the entrances and does the set up for the day. When we visited the proceeds went to the friendly volunteers from Mornington’s Men’s Shed who were giving the children stamps on their hands. Afterwards you could enjoy a stroll down to the recently reopened pier, enjoy a coffee at The Rocks, take the kids for a play in the park or have lunch at one of the many great cafes in Mornington. With so much choice in Mornington it is easy to turn it into a day out.
