Farmers' markets
The Gold Coast delivers a metropolitan city experience grounded by the life-affirming simplicity of country life found in the hinterland. The farmers' market is an icon of this country existence and gives easy access to the freshest local produce and a unique way to experience the Gold Coast and take home an edible souvenir.
However the hinterland no longer has the monopoly on farmers' markets with luxury beach resort settings bringing the freshest produce to the finest sand. A trip to any one of the Gold Coast's markets can mean a shopping bag full of local cheeses, pickles, jams, smoked paté, fresh pineapples, organic vegetables or salad greens.
