Saturday Never
Looked so fresh

The Saturday Fresh Market is Brisbane’s largest food, plant and lifestyle market, catering to the Rocklea, Sherwood, Corinda, Oxley, Annerley, Moorooka, Fairfield, and Yeronga communities along with the greater Brisbane and Ipswich area for 20 years.

Affectionately called Rocklea Markets by the local community, the Saturday Fresh Market is held every week from 6am until 12 noon at 385 Sherwood Road in the very heart of the Brisbane Markets, Queensland’s central wholesale fruit and vegetable market.

More than a farmers market, the undercover, all weather venue of the Saturday Fresh Market is filled to the brim with fresh produce, bakery, meat and deli goods, alongside a wide variety of pots and plants, herbs and spices, honey and condiments, fashion and homewares and so much more.

“We come to the Saturday Fresh Market every single Saturday to catch up over a coffee and some shopping. It gives us time out together, but also gives us the opportunity to get fresh fruit, vegetables and meat for the week.”

“The Saturday Fresh Market is awesome, everything is cheap and there’s such a great variety. We’ve bought so much already and we are just in the plant aisle!

“We meet at the Saturday Fresh Market every weekend, we love it and always tell people to do themselves a favour and come along. Once they finally come, they can’t believe how great it is. We love the cost and the variety. You can find fruit and vegetables you’ve never seen before and the stallholders will even tell you how to use them. We love the new venue too; it is convenient on rainy days and keeps you out of the sun in summer.”
Tayla and Nicolefrom Forest Lake and Kangaroo Point
Tayla and Nicole

“I have been coming to the Saturday Fresh Market for 14 years, since my son was a baby.

“I love the variety and the freshness of all the products I can find here. The new location is great for the weather but I also love that there feels like it has a lot more open space. The aisles are wider and the stalls are bigger. It makes it really easy to plan my shop. Whenever something happens and I can’t make it to market, I am always disappointed by the food I get from the supermarkets compared to what I can get from the Saturday Fresh Market.”
Angelafrom Tarragindi
Angela
“We’ve been coming to the Saturday Fresh Market for 10 years and we love it. We are early birds, so we always arrive at 6am for a hot cup of coffee and shopping. It’s a unique experience and wonderful to see lots of people and smiling faces. It’s a wonderful family outing and, most importantly, we get to support small local businesses.”
Nee and Maneefrom Forest Lake
Nee and Manee
“We love it here in the new venue. It’s a lot more convenient when it rains, and we really like the new layout – it’s so easy to find everything and make your way around. We come every week and always park in the same place. We buy plants first, then fruit and vegetables, then we do the lap around. Go forth and explore! Find your new favourite stalls, bring lots of bags and invest in a good trolley.”
Russell and Colinfrom Corinda
Russell and Colin
“We travel all the way from Narangba every Saturday to get all our fruit and vegetables for the week. We find it more cost effective, even with the price of fuel at the moment. We highly recommend buying a trolley. It’s the best investment we ever made, especially when you’re carrying three children about. The new venue is a lot more weather friendly and a lot bigger – it’s a great improvement.”
Lara, Brad, Elizabeth, Walter and Annabellfrom Narangba

Zena and Alanjohnfrom Yeronga
Zena and Alanjohn
“We love the Saturday Fresh Market; we’ve been coming for four years. We tried all the markets in Brisbane but since the move to the new venue we don’t bother going anywhere else. The premium parking is fantastic, and the new venue is a lot more user friendly, especially with a trolley. The fresh produce is so much better than the supermarket for quality and price. Hai’s Harvest is our favourite stall, they always have everything we need.”
Amy and Juliefrom Moorooka and Fairfield
Amy and Julie
“The value is amazing, and the quality is so much better than the big supermarkets. You can get all your fruit and veg, meat and bakery items in one place. I only started coming to the Saturday Fresh Market at the end of last year, but now I do my shop here every week. It’s fantastic and the parking is so easy.”
Alisonfrom Brookfield
Alison
“We’ve been friends for 50 years and have been coming to the Saturday Fresh Market together for eight years, it’s our thing. We both recently moved away from Brisbane, but we still attend fortnightly because it’s totally worth the hour drive for the quality of produce and to socialise. The atmosphere and the smell are beautiful. Both the stallholders and customers are really friendly, we meet new people and get to know them over time.”
Lyn and Judyfrom Laidley and the Gold Coast
Lyn and Judy
“It’s a good way to start the weekend – we look forward to it. We’ve been coming to the Saturday Fresh Market every week for four years and get disappointed if we miss it.

Alberto and Tina
"It’s the fruit and vegetables that bring us back every week. It really has the best produce at the best prices. We run a small business, so we prefer to support other local small businesses and the Saturday Fresh Market makes that easy to do. The kids love it, it is quality family time for us."
Morgan, Aussie, Darcy and Kyla from Richlands
Morgan, Aussie, Darcy and Kyla
"We come for the beautiful fresh produce, especially the olives – Yanni’s is one of our favourites along with Mum’s Crepes , Mr Coffee’s, and the Little French Bakery. We love all the plants, fresh produce, bakery items and nearly every visit we make sure to pick up some flowers."
Adam and Penny from Camira
Adam and Penny
"It’s our first visit for a while, but we really like the new venue, it’s way better now it is undercover. The fruit is so much cheaper than the supermarkets. We look at everything first to compare price and quality, then go back through to buy what we need. "
Locky, Nufe, and Lau from Redbank Plains
Locky, Nufe, and Lau
"We come weekly because we can always get good, coffee and fresh produce at good prices, oh and an almond croissant! We do all our shopping at the Saturday Fresh Market, the major supermarkets are too expensive and everything is nicer here for a better price."
