Whitehorse Farmers’ Market

As the birds chirp and the roosters crow, life in the suburbs on a Sunday begins to stir. While the coffee is brewing, there is a group of Rotarians up and about by 6am at the Combined Rotary Clubs Whitehorse Farmers’ Market. The second Sunday of every month means a 5.15 am alarm for this dedicated group.

As farmers pull in with their produce laden vans, trailers and trucks, the area at the Nunawading Arts Centre is clicking into action. The well oiled machine, setting up powered sites, bins out, directing trucks into their allocated space, all tasks done under the cover of darkness.

Every market sees 65 plus vendors and over 1,500 patrons enjoying the beautiful smells of fresh produce and delights for the tastebuds. Make sure you stop for a delicious egg and bacon sandwich at the Rotary marquee.

The Farmers’ Market funds many local community organisations and projects.

Held on the second Sunday of every month, the Whitehorse Rotary Farmers’ Market is jointly run by the six Rotary Clubs and the Rotaract Club in the City of Whitehorse. One of the best parts of the market is that all proceeds go back to community projects right throughout the city – a perfect win win!

Do come along to the Whitehorse Farmers’ Market on the SECOND SUNDAY OF THE MONTH between 8am and 1pm. It is held at the rear of the Whitehorse Civic Centre, 397 Maroondah Highway, Nunawading, Melway Ref: 48 G9.

RI President - STEPHANIE URCHICK

Rotary International President-elect Stephanie Urchick announced that the 2024-25 presidential theme is The Magic of Rotary and called on members to recognize and amplify the organization’s power to save lives.

“Don’t misunderstand me – we are not going to end polio or bring peace to the world by waving a wand and saying some funny words,” Urchick told incoming district governors at the Rotary International Assembly on 8 January.
