“A farm in the middle of Collingwood! Are you serious?” is the response one typically expects when organising a lazy Saturday morning at the Collingwood Children’s Farm. Located just off Hoddle street (continues off Punt Road) on the way to the Eastern Freeway, on the banks of the Yarra River is a hidden jewel of artisan farmers, food purveyors and award winning produce—and of course, lots of farm animals.
The Farm Cafe, while separate to the Farmer’s Market, is located and accessible through the market, or via a beaten bike path, which allows access seven days a week. Their menu features meals made from raw ingredients, sourced from the same farmers who sell their wares at the market. A unique feature of the farmers market is that there is no middle-man; produce comes direct from the farm and typically sold by the farmers themselves. The quality therefore of Farm Cafe’s menu is guaranteed to exceed your expectations whilst ensuring that you can source the same ingredients for a wholesome meal at home.
