Mullum Farmers Market

Mullumbimby

The famous, award-winning Mullum Farmers Market is a weekly family affair that simply should not be missed. It bursts into life every Friday morning at the beautiful Mullum Showgrounds.

Grab yourself a coffee and a delicious breakfast from one of the eight food stalls, and sit down under the giant fig trees and enjoy the outstanding live music. Then visit the Kids' Plot, after all, happy kids mean happy families! The market is a not-for-profit organisation, which means every dollar you spend goes toward supporting local farmers, the community and a more sustainable future.
