A farmers market operates in the refined and happy precinct of the collingwood childrens farm, below the abbotsford convent.
The market is on every second saturday of the month, and entry is a gold coin, which goes toward the collingwood childrens farm, which provides a space in the city where children of melbourne can experience farmyard animals up close and personal.
