With the weather warming up, residents in the west are offered a relaxing day out at Eynesbury Market.

A short drive through the lovely green pastures will take attendees to the Eynesbury Homestead, where a wide range of stalls feature fresh produce, artisan crafts, and more.

Felicity Ashman runs Urban Markets, who operate the Eynesbury Market on the last Sunday of every month.

She said that the things on offer to attendees were countless.

“We have everything from classic farmers’ market stalls like fruit and veggies, baked goods, and honey to 3D printing and metal garden products,” said Ms Ashman.

“We have quite a number of community organisations like the Eynesbury Environmental Group and local Rotary Clubs… it is a really diverse crowd.”

In October, the Eynesbury Market will celebrate its 10th anniversary.

Ms Ashman said she was “rapt” that people had embraced it.

“I love the fact we’ve been able to establish the market and have longevity,” she said.

Frequenters of the market come from far and wide, including places like Ballarat, Box Hill, Ringwood, and Lilydale, said Ms Ashman.

“We have a surprising large number of visitors from well outside the area… on a fairly regular basis which is exciting.”

Anywhere between 2000 to 2500 people come through Eynesbury Market each day.

It is open from 9am to 2pm and is dog friendly, with the next edition to be held on Sunday September 22.
