THERE is no shortage of plentiful, fresh and fun markets on in the Alpine Shire as we head into the warmer months.
Why not pencil these in to your calendar and spend your weekends exploring the produce, creations, products and more from your local community.
The Myrtleford Farmers Market is held on the fourth Saturday of each month from 8.30am to 12.30pm at the Piazza, in the heart of Myrtleford.
The market is accredited by the Victorian Farmers Market Association, which market coordinator Louise Benini said means customers are guaranteed access to quality, freshly harvested produce whilst supporting local farmers and directly putting money back into regional Victorian communities.
The next Myrtleford Farmer’s Market will be held on November 23.
