    Fresh fruit at the Markets
    by tiabunna
    Located in the inner suburb of Kingston, the (retail) Markets are a great place to shop for fresh food. You will find a choice of shops for meat, fruit and vegetables and fish. If you would like an icecream or asian groceries, or even a carpet, you will find it here. And yes, many fruit vendors will offer you samples of their fruit.

    Usually less than in supermarkets.

  • The Hall Markets regularly attract more than 300 local craftspeople and farmers to this country market just 30 minutes outside of downtown Canberra. Meets on the first Sunday of every month and is a great place to purchase some woodwork etc. They also have rides and other amusements for the kids as well as a place to pickup some fast food (there is good sitdown food available in Hall) Hall is also in the center of a good wine producing region so you can make it a weekend!

    Woodwork, glass, as well as fresh produce and some bric a brac

    Varies based upon quality but you should be able to get a better price than at a shop

    The Old Bus Depot Markets are great. They run on Sundays in Kingston at the old bus depot. You'll find everything from handicrafts to food to clothing there. They have some amazing artists who sell their goods at the markets too.

    Markets: SAMPLE FINE FOOD AT OLD BUS DEPOT MARKETS

    This place is just a one-s top shop for fine food, local wine and dining fare from otherwise not so known places. For example, you can sample Laotian or African food here. Also, numerous wine and cheese tastings, homemade roasted nuts which we bought lots of, deli products and bread!There are homemade dips, pickles, jams, and loads more foodstuffs.

    Even before lunch, my boys were happily hopping from one stall to another sampling tasty cheeses of all sorts. Hubby was in seventh heaven munching on his fave salamis and more cheeses of course!

    There are also jewelries like cultured pearls, wood carvings, just too many to mention!

    I can see why it is an award winning market as the products are usually stuff you cannot find anywhere in the country as the produce are especially locally grown and homemade from fresh produce and ingredients by Canberrans or those from the surrounding areas!

    By the way, as many markets, they operate on Sundays when we were there in January. They also have them on Saturdays in December as I heard. They are open from 10 am to 4 pm.

    The products vary with the seasons and there are also music and other offerings for the public. You don't have to stay indoors to eat your food, go outside and enjoy the breeze from the lake!

    We especially love the Venetian roasted almonds, even made right in front of you. The ingredients are fresh, the way of making them are even simple and tastes yummy! We also bought some vintage local cheese, rye bread,a plate each of Laotian and Mexican food to take to our picnic at Lake Burley Griffin which is just nearby. As I mentioned, we got almonds and cashews too!

    From $4 for a loaf of fresh rye bread, three bags of roasted almonds for $10 or $2.50 each for flavoured roasted peanuts.
