Sample the region’s freshest produce at the Capital Region Farmers Market.
The Market is a community project run by the Rotary Club of Hall, the only rural Rotary Club in the ACT.
There are over 100 stallholders each week who bring their freshly picked, grown and hand crafted produce to the Market. Speak to a stallholder and ask them where their produce comes from – you’ll be surprised what you’ll learn and pick up cooking, storage and usage tips.
The Rotary Club of Hall is proud to do something positive to underpin the growing agri-business opportunities in the region and offer a great seasonal food experience. The Market provides a direct and unbroken link between food producers and customer and also enables the Rotary Club of Hall to support important regional community projects.
