It's almost a little…read moresecret and my friends and I are constantly amazed at how people use the school as a short cut and 99% of the time we hear "i never knew this was here". Sometimes they stop, other times i reckon they will be back just to see what's going on. The best bit of it being quiet is that you don't have to queue too long for the bacon & egg roll or coffee AND you can really get to know the people who work there. Sadly for me I can't get there every week: bit of a market freak so I have to share the love and explore others but if you haven't gone, give it a go cause honestly, it's worth it. We all need to slow down and just "be" and I reckon this market is the perfect place for it

For me not much beats a sunny Saturday strolling a farmers market with an organic mocha and almond…read morecroissant in hand. This is one of the best farmers markets to do that. London and California have some pretty good ones but this is up there with the finest. I love the way the stall make a horse shoe shape around Civic park - you can meander past all the food and finish up in the grassy centre so that you can munch on all your new delights. Last market I bough a giant size broccoli that must have been cut at the roots because it was about the size of five supermarket broccoli attached together. Because they were attached to the main stem it lasted for a good week and a half and that wasn't because it went off but rather we ate all. Even better - it cost about $4 - bargain. Saying that, whilst much of the seasonal fruit and vegetables are reasonably prices many of the other products aren't so cheap. Organic meats, milk, wood fired breads, fresh pasta, bottled sauces, organic coffee beans, gluten free sweets, fresh muesli, tea tonics, natural skin care ranges, fresh flowers, organic cider and a stall with a banana bread stacked wall are some of the pricier items. Some of my favourite buys have been a cashew nut spread, beetroot hummus and edible zucchini flowers. There is usually a good busker strumming out some tunes too - I like to pop him my gold change from that indulgent mocha I bought! It happens on the third Saturday of every month from 8am - 12pm. Under cover parking is available in the Ridge St. car park behind Civic Park.

This Harris Farm carries all the regular market staples and if I do find I need a few extra's that I can't find then I can whip next door to Woolies. Staff are friendly, somewhat quiet. Overall experience is good.

Harris Farm Markets are a good chain of quality goods that suit any situation. I love the range of…read morecontinental foods... salami, cheese, olives... stuffed different ways, and the range of bread. There is also a very popular shop that is open at all hours of a night. This is a good place to stop on the way home from the city. The range of good quality coffee and cakes is outstanding... but you pay for what you get. Quality is expensive... but who cares when you are in that special date and need coffee to end the night.... or to keep the night going!

Love the look and feel of this new Harris Farm. New specialty areas from Pizza, deli, cafe, bakery,…read moremeat and seafood. Picked up some great bargains on fruit as I enjoyed looking around. It really is set up to please the eye with colour and layout. Today has a relaxed feel but I've seen the weekends here where it's just crazy. Decided to stop for a coffee here with some banoffee pie. The only reason I took a star off is cause the coffee was no good. It was weak and sort of watery, like someone had tried to slip me skim milk. Not a fan.

When I moved to North Sydney I was delighted to find an organic store so close to home. I worked…read morefor a well known organic beauty store in London for a few years so am always interested to see how we compare in oz on this front. In terms of organic beauty Taste have a decent range - Dr Hauschka, Weleda, Trilogy, Suki to name but a few. They have some men's ranges, plenty of natural soaps, hair dyes, pamper products and baby care skin care. Beyond beauty they have a fantastic range of health foods. I've bought gluten free baking powder, lentil pasta, sprouted bread, coconut yoghurt, seaweed snacks, organic teas, coffees and chocolate - pretty much anything you can think of that Wholefoods might have these guys do too. The difference is, though the shelves are most certainly full, it doesn't feel crammed or stuffy in here. As well as packaged goods there is also a decent selection of fresh organic fruit and veg. It's obviously more expensive than supermarket produce but it tastes more alive. There is a fairly energetic come feisty in-house naturapath in store there most days who is a wealth of information and pretty good at sales (my personal trainer sister walked out with four treatments for her dermatitis). There is a fairly good range of vitamin and minerals. The staff are gentle, sweet and helpful. If you fancy a fresh organic fair trade juice or coffee they can whip one up for you to enjoy on the tables and chairs outside. Mind you, this right on Falcon Street so the car fumes don't bode well for your organic snack - unless it goes straight down the hatchet, that is. Parking available underground on the premises.

Every second Sunday of the month, Kirribilli Market shows up at Milsons Point. It's next to the…read moretrain station and under the bridge. It's free to walk around and shop. I went one time and saw mostly handmade crafts and trinkets. There was even a vendor selling visors for dogs. The memorable one for me was Lunar Crafts because her crochet work was so good. There are a handful coffee and food vendors but not much to get full. On the green there were what looked like to me people selling their closets. A lot of signs read "need everything gone" and "buy 5 for $5". They had mostly clothes but also shoes. It's fun to walk around and get views of the Anzac bridge, the Sydney harbor bridge, and the Opera House. Luna Park is not too far away. Parking - free and paid parking on the street.

This is one of my favorite markets in Sydney. I've scored designer clothing, picture frames, coffee…read moretables, cup & saucer sets, jewelry, handbags, shoes, juicer, books, greeting cards, a formal dress -- you name it! If you get hungry, there are tons of food vendors. Personally, I have only had the gozleme, which I quite enjoyed. A Turkish concoction which can only be described as a spinach Taco Bell Crunchwrap with lemon on top. I actually planned my vacations so that I could be here on the fourth Saturday of the month -- while both living in Sydney and visiting. I believe they have an extra market in December (or maybe they move the date?). It also happens to be located in one of the more picturesque spots in Sydney, great view of the Harbour Bridge! Anyway, it is conveniently located next to the Kirribilli train station and once you're done, there are tons of cafes to check out, grab a flat white and admire your wares.
