Kyogle Farmers Market

The Kyogle region boasts some of the best cropping, beef and dairy lands around, so it’s no surprise that this passion flows from the paddock to the plate. Kyogle’s coffee culture is growing; with a number of boutique cafes that are perfect for a relaxing breakfast or lunch. You’ll find some of the region’s best steaks at our pubs and clubs, and family-owned restaurants including Indian, Chinese and other cuisines. Our food travels too! Local businesses are often asked to create picnic hampers to be enjoyed at a peaceful riverside spot, and events such as Gateway Fine Foods’ Long Table Lunches see food lovers from far and wide come to Kyogle to experience our local flavours straight from the farm. You might have seen Kyogle’s giant bush turkey on the way into town, but have you seen our giant pumpkins? In January, Kyogle hosts the Summerland Giant Pumpkin & Watermelon Festival. Local businesses decorate their shops, and eateries have special themed dishes on their menus. There is a still-life art competition, pumpkin sculpting and a cooking competition for foodies. Pumpkins aside, you’ll find plenty of locally grown (and often organic) garlic, coffee, blueberries, mangoes, finger limes, avocados, macadamias, honey, pecans and a variety of beef and pork products grown or produced locally. If you miss the markets, many local shops and cafes stock locally grown goods, and roadside stalls can serve up some great finds.
