Farm Gate Market, located in the heart of Hobart on Bathurst Street, is a weekly Sunday market with Tasmanian produce, artisanal products, and food trucks. Established in 2009, the market was born out of a vision by founder Madi Peattie, who sought to connect local farmers directly with the community.
The market began as a small gathering of farmers and food producers but quickly grew in popularity as both locals and tourists appreciated the quality and variety of goods available. Today, it is home to a diverse range of vendors offering everything from organic fruits and vegetables to Tasmanian honey, cheeses, fresh seafood, baked goods, and more.
We strolled through stalls and chatted with friendly vendors eager to share the stories behind their products, and enjoy samples of local favorites.
We found… Mother of Pearl Sweeties and this is a must-visit for cookie lovers. We tried the red velvet cheesecake cookie, and let me tell you, it was perfection! The cookie itself had that classic red velvet flavor, rich but not too sweet, with a beautiful, creamy cheesecake filling in the center. It was just the right balance of flavors—soft, a little decadent, and so satisfying. I could easily have eaten ten of these. If you’re in Hobart and at the market, do yourself a favor and pick one up!
