Slow Food Melbourne
We run farmers markets at Spotswood, Edgewater, West Footscray and Yarraville on four Saturdays a month in Melbourne's inner west. Every stall is chosen around a simple idea: food should be Good, Clean and Fair.
It's a principle we share with the Slow Food Movement, a global community of half a million people in 160 countries.
We also run a monthly community event, Slow Foodscray in Footscray celebrating local food, culture, and community.

The Slow Food Movement
Slow Food started in Rome in 1986 as a protest against the opening of a McDonald's. Forty years later it's half a million people in 160 countries, and four Saturday markets in Melbourne's inner west.
About Slow FoodSlow Food in Melbourne
We've been here since 2005: a volunteer-run group of cross-generational, multicultural Victorians who care about where their food comes from and who grew it. No head office, no shareholders. Just people who show up, market after market, because they think this work matters.

Stallholder Spotlight
Yarra Valley Berries
Santo Zappia's family helped pioneer berry growing in the Yarra Valley. Their stall shifts with the seasons and nothing goes to waste.
