How we reported this
Tasmania's markets are outstanding: the Salamanca Market in Hobart (one of Australia's most famous and copied outdoor markets), the Farm Gate Market (Hobart's best farmers market, with direct-from-farm Tasmanian produce of extraordinary quality), and the regional Saturday markets in Launceston, Devonport, and Burnie providing the community market culture that complements Tasmania's exceptional food and wine region status.
Salamanca Market, the Salamanca Market (every Saturday, 8:30am to 3pm, Salamanca Place Hobart, free entry) is one of Australia's most famous markets and the model for countless imitation artisan markets around the country. The 300+ stallholders line the heritage sandstone warehouses of Salamanca Place with artisan crafts, Tasmanian produce, clothing, jewellery, art, books, and specialty food. The Saturday atmosphere in Salamanca is one of Australia's great weekend experiences.
Farm Gate Market, the Farm Gate Market (Sunday 9am to 1pm; Wednesday 9am to 1pm; Bathurst Street Hobart, free entry) is Hobart's finest farmers market and one of Australia's best, with Tasmanian growers selling direct-from-farm produce of exceptional quality: King Island and Bruny Island dairy, Huon Valley apples and cherries, Coal River Valley wines, and the diversity of Tasmania's cool-climate agricultural products.
Launceston Harvest Market, the Launceston Harvest Market (Saturday 8:30am to 12:30pm, Cimitiere Street Launceston, free entry) is northern Tasmania's finest farmers market, with the Tamar Valley and north-east Tasmanian producers selling seasonal vegetables, heritage fruit varieties, artisan cheese, and small-batch food products.
Burnie Farmers Market, the Burnie Farmers Market (Saturday, Marine Esplanade Burnie) provides the north-west coast's finest direct-from-farm produce market, with the richly productive north-west coast's dairy, vegetable, and specialty food producers represented.
