Perth City Farm
Starting almost three decades ago, Perth City Farm is considered as one of Perth’s best farmers markets. Set up in the remnants of a former industrial site in East Perth, volunteers have rehabilitated the remains into a hub for the local community. While the urban farm is open throughout the week for people to plant and farm; every Saturday this location transforms into a fresh farmers market between 8am and 12pm. There’s nothing fresher than walking through the very soil your organic fruit and vegetables was farmed!
