Perth and the surrounding regions have a strong network of farmers markets and direct-to-public producers, from weekly city stalls to farm-gate operations down south. This guide explains how these suppliers typically sell, what you'll pay, and how to pick a producer you can trust — featuring the growers and markets listed on this page.

Certified organic and biodynamic seasonal fruit & veg boxes delivered in Perth, sourced from WA biodynamic and organic farming families. Also trades at Subiaco Farmers Market every Saturday 8am-12pm.
A genuine farmers market is one where producers sell direct to the public, rather than resellers on-selling wholesale stock. Around Perth and regional WA you'll find seasonal fruit and vegetables, pasture-raised eggs, honey, bread and pastries, small-batch preserves, cheese and dairy, meat from local farms, and value-added goods like ferments and oils.
Established weekly markets such as Perth City Farm Farmers Market in East Perth and the Subi Farmers Market in Subiaco bring together a rotating line-up of stallholders, so what's on offer shifts with the season. Regional markets like the Margaret River Farmers Market, Albany Farmers Market and Boyanup Farmers Market tend to reflect the produce of their local area — think South West and Great Southern growing conditions.
Suppliers listed on this page use a mix of channels:
If you're seeking dairy, be aware that in Australia raw (unpasteurised) milk cannot be sold for human consumption. Some producers market unpasteurised milk strictly as cosmetic or "bath" milk, or operate herd-share arrangements. We simply describe how these products are marketed and make no health claims about them. For the current rules, refer to FSANZ (Food Standards Australia New Zealand) guidance. Goat dairies such as Bookara Goat Dairy and family farms like Agia Skepi typically sell pasteurised products where dairy is offered — always confirm directly.
Prices vary a lot by season, certification, farm size and region, so treat the following as broad ranges rather than fixed rates:
Certified organic produce usually sits at the higher end. Always check current pricing with the supplier, as costs move with the season and with input prices.
With direct-buy food, transparency matters more than marketing. Here's what to look for:
If a producer claims their food is organic, look for certification from a recognised body such as ACO (Australian Certified Organic) or NASAA. Certification means the operation is independently audited against a standard. Many small growers are genuinely spray-free or low-input but not certified — that's common and legitimate, but it puts the onus on you to ask questions and judge for yourself.
Good producers are happy to explain how they grow or make their food — what they spray (or don't), how animals are raised and fed, and where inputs come from. Vague answers or reluctance to discuss methods are worth noting.
Reviews give a useful signal, especially for markets with large sample sizes — the Margaret River Farmers Market (1,300+ reviews), Perth City Farm (600+) and Subi (500+) all have strong track records. Smaller farm-gate operations may have few or no reviews simply because they're small; that's not a red flag on its own, so weigh it against what you learn in person.
Arrive early for the best pick, bring bags and a chiller for perishables, and get to know a few regular stallholders — building a relationship is the easiest way to learn what's genuinely local and seasonal. Confirm days and hours before you travel, particularly for regional markets and farm-gate visits, as trading times change with the seasons and public holidays.

Most run weekly or monthly, usually on weekend mornings. Times change seasonally and over public holidays, so check each market's current schedule before heading out — regional markets and farm-gate operations in particular can vary.
No. Some producers are certified organic (look for ACO or NASAA certification), some are spray-free but uncertified, and others use conventional methods. If organic status matters to you, ask the stallholder directly and look for certification.
Raw (unpasteurised) milk cannot legally be sold for human consumption in Australia. Some producers market it only as cosmetic or bath milk, or run herd-share arrangements. For the rules, see FSANZ guidance, and confirm exactly what any dairy producer is selling.
As a rough guide: vegetables around $3–$8, eggs $8–$14 a dozen, honey $10–$20 a jar, bread $6–$12 a loaf. Certified organic and grass-fed meat sit higher. Prices shift with the season, so treat these as broad ranges and confirm with the supplier.
Both. Some, like The Backyard Pantry, sell online WA-wide, while others such as The Little Big Store in Wangara offer local ranges. Farm-gate sales and box schemes are also common. Check each supplier's channels before you plan a visit.
