If you're after a proper market experience in Brisbane, you can't go past Jan Powers Farmers Markets at the Powerhouse. Every Saturday from 6 am to midday, the iconic Brisbane Powerhouse in New Farm buzzes with folks grabbing fresh-picked seasonal fruits and veggies straight from the growers. You'll find heaps of handmade crafts and delicious artisan foods too, all with that friendly, local service Jan Powers markets are known for. It's not just about the shopping either. This market's been a local institution since the 90s, started by Brisbane food identity Jan Power herself, to connect folks in South East Queensland directly with the farmers and producers. It's a real paddock-to-plate vibe, where you can chat to the person who grew your greens or baked your bread. They've got three spots around Brisbane, but the Powerhouse market is where it all started, and it's still going strong, making it a cracking spot to soak up some local atmosphere and stock up on top-notch produce.
