SA Farmers Market

SA Farmers Market is a Sunday destination for fresh South Australian produce, bric-a-brac and a lively market-going experience. The market operates from 6am to 1pm, giving early shoppers plenty of time to browse the stalls, pick up produce and explore the wider undercover space. Musicians and street entertainers are also invited to perform, adding live activity to the market throughout the day.

The venue is designed for practical visits, with more than 1,000 onsite car parks and pedestrian entrances from Burma Road and Diagonal Road. Vehicle access to the main car park is via Merchant Crescent, Pooraka, while additional paddock parking may open from Diagonal Road depending on the weather. The market is fully undercover, which makes it a useful option when planning a Sunday outing in Adelaide, although visitors should allow for the $2 entry fee per person. Children aged 16 and under can enter free when accompanied by an adult, and entry accepts cash or card.

There is a clear connection between the Sunday market and South Australia's long produce-trading history. The South Australian Produce Market traces its roots to Adelaide's former East End markets, where growers, merchants and retailers traded before moving to the larger Pooraka site in 1988. The wider market continues to support growers, wholesalers and retailers, with fresh produce moving through the site for local, national and international distribution. That background gives the venue more context than a simple weekend stall market: it sits within a long-running network built around produce, trade and relationships.

SA Farmers Market suits families looking for a low-cost weekend activity, shoppers wanting fresh produce, and visitors who enjoy browsing stalls rather than following a fixed itinerary. It can also work for solo shoppers who want to arrive early and shop at their own pace. Visitors should note that smoking is not permitted and dogs cannot enter the market. For the latest stallholder and event information, the market directs visitors to its newsletter, Facebook and Instagram channels.
