The famous Farmers Market comes to town and sets up its stalls on heritage and scenic Churchill Island, a beautiful island just off Phillip Island a few kilometers further on as you drive over the bridge at Newhaven.

Churchill Island is the perfect setting for a Farmers Market. If you know Churchill Island you will know that you drive across a narrow causeway (keeps the rabbits out!) and along a track through paddocks full of Highland Cattle and Cape Barren Geese.
Once there you are directed to a suitable car spot (no pets please – I should mention) where you can walk to the market and the Heritage Home on Churchill Island.

Churchill Island Farmers Market is open from 8am to 1pm – and don’t be late you will miss out! On offer is a range of local produce from fruit, vegetables, breads, chutneys, cheeses, cold and fresh meats, wines and juices. Also on offer are a variety of yummy take away food and coffee, as well as herbs and plants.
So, why not get yourself to Churchill Island nice and early. Select the produce you need for an excellent lunch. Choose from the wide variety of produce and and head back to your nearby accommodation and relax for the rest of the afternoon.
If you did not find everything you needed, then why not visit the Island Food Store in Cowes tucked away behind Coles at Shop 2 75 Chapel St. Here you will be able to buy local and regional wines, a variety of local and imported cheeses, tempting cakes and delicious eat in or take home meals. All meals and dressings are home prepared.
