The Orange Farmers' Market is a predominantly fresh food market that operates monthly (on the 2nd Saturday) at the Orange Showground, Agricultural Pavilion or when unavailable at the Northcourt - Orange Regional Gallery. These locations will provide a suitable environment for farmers and food producers to sell high quality farm-origin and associated value-added food products directly to customers.
