The Forster Farmer’s Market takes place every third Saturday of the month, providing a wonderful chance to indulge in the freshest farm produce. This market aims to support local farmers and artisans by… showcasing their homegrown or homemade goods from the Barrington Coast and nearby areas. You can explore an array of fruits, vegetables, eggs, gourmet sauces, jams, preserves, pure honey, plants, and more. The market is actively seeking new produce stalls, especially those offering items not yet available at our regular market. Join us in promoting and savoring the best of local agriculture and craftsmanship!
