Markets & Artisans
Farmers markets and makers
The best markets & artisans in Crafers
Weekend markets brim with cheese, chocolate, jam, cut flowers and produce straight from the surrounding orchards and dairies.
Few regions reward a love of good food and handmade things like the Adelaide Hills. A patchwork of orchards, dairies and market gardens feeds a thriving community of makers — cheesemakers, chocolatiers, bakers and preservers — many of whom open their doors so you can taste and buy straight from the source.
Weekends bring the Adelaide Hills Farmers Market to Mount Barker, gathering growers, bakers and roasters in one bustling Saturday meeting. Around Woodside you'll find a cluster of artisan stars — Udder Delights and Woodside Cheese Wrights for cheese, and Melba's Chocolate Factory for traditional chocolate-making behind viewing windows. Family farm shops like Beerenberg sell jams and relishes alongside seasonal pick-your-own.
Providores and cellar doors round out the picture, stocking Hills cheese, smallgoods, honey and preserves perfect for building a picnic or filling the boot before the drive home.
