The Carseldine Farmers& Artisan Markets

On the corner of Beams and Dorville roads at Carseldine, this Saturday-morning market gathers growers and makers from across south-east Queensland on the northern edge of Brisbane. The focus is produce - organic and in-season fruit and vegetables - alongside traditional and gourmet foods, bakers, butchers, a fishmonger and coffee, with market wares from local artisans filling out the stalls. It runs from 6am to noon, rain or shine, with free entry and parking, live music and a large seating area for those settling in over breakfast. Run by a Brisbane market operator that manages several such gatherings, it functions as a genuine producers' market rather than a car-boot sale, and has become the north side's regular Saturday food fixture.
