Top choice in Hobart
Bathurst St turns organic at this weekly foodie favourite that brings in primary producers from across the state – expect fresh fruit and veg, raw honey, BBQ octopus, cut flowers and organic kimchi and yoghurt. A seat in the sun on the road with a Lady Hester sourdough doughnut is the place to be on a Sunday morning.
The Farm Gate folks also run a Friday-night summer street-food market called Street Eats @ Franko.
