Mayor Lawrie Cox said the launch of the market had seen an incredibly positive response from the community.
“Farmers markets are extremely popular in Victoria and it’s exciting to be able to bring one to the City of Whittlesea,” he said.
“Our local produce is some of the freshest and tastiest food you could find anywhere.
“The market will be a great opportunity to get to know some of the great farmers, producers and artists in the area.”
Launching this Saturday, the South Morang Farmers and Makers Market will be on the third Saturday of each month in the City of Whittlesea Civic Centre carpark, 25 Ferres Boulevard, South Morang.
