What's hot this winter?❤️‍🔥
Produce edition!

We asked our Fitzroy Market team what veggies they're eating to feel nourished, warm, and cosy this winter.

The verdict? Potatoes, Eggplant, Ginger, Cauliflower, Bok Choy, Snow Peas and...more Potatoes 😁

Do you have a favourite that didn't make it on the list? Let us know!

Order your fruit and veggies for the week! 🥦🍌

Sunday is the one day of the week where our online shops are open for all of our markets to place an order for your fruit and/or veggie box. After that each online shop will close throughout the week at 5pm on the day before each market

If you haven’t placed a box order with us before, you can head to the link below for extra information, and if this isn’t your first time, you’ll already know how much fruit & veg gets lovingly packed into your orders! 🫶
More information:

Here’s what a Small ($20) Mixed Fruit and Veggie Box could look like, but we have a range of sizes and options available for order on

And don’t forget, if you can't eat onions, or you would like us to put more of our sustainably grown produce from local suppliers in, you can let us know things like that in the ‘Comments or Special Instructions’ box at the checkout! 🍎🥔

Happy shopping! 🤗

Georgia has led us through some incredible achievements in the last 3.5 years. Having increased our number of weekly markets from 2 to 7, and developed new initiatives that have made us a stronger organisation.

Our 2025 Impact Report is here! 🥳

It was a huge year for us, made possible with the help of our incredible community!

We launched two whole new markets in Richmond and Melton, and Richmond went on to win the 2025 Community Initiative of the Year Award from City Council!

We generated over 2,000 Grocer Gift Cards, serving up a nutritious, choice-based alternative to traditional food relief.

🤩We had 102 amazing volunteers of different ages and cultural backgrounds help us out with market operations, laughter and smiles!

🧆We had 18 different stallholders join us at our markets and help make them into the vibrant community hubs that they are.

🌱And we sourced 16% of our produce directly from local growers who prioritise sustainable, regenerative, and community-focused farming practices, including Mount Prospect Produce, Burd Eggs Australia, Shepherd's Orchard and Aintree Community Garden 💚

Thanks again to our spectacular volunteers, partners, supporters and wonderful customers.💚

Do you have a large collection of shopping bags?

This is a safe space; you can be honest 🫂

In fact, we'd actually love to hear from you, and perhaps have you share some with us, if you have more than you need!

Feel free to drop some off at your local market when you next visit. You'll likely receive a round of applause and some cheers from our team 🫶
