A green revolution has sprouted here in recent years, with fabulous farmers’ markets countering supermarket bland and delivering tasty and local produce to a growing brigade of mindful Melburnians. They provide great opportunity to meet growers, talk food, shop seasonally and engage. Compare the spring in your step as you leave a farmers’ market laden with wholesome flavours to the drudge from your local supermarket. There’s a great farmers’ market somewhere in Melbourne every Saturday. See your book for reviews and listings, but here’s a quick guide:
