things to see and do
harvest market
Come rain, hail or shine, the farmers, brewers, bakers and cheesemakers of northern Tasmania come to town every Saturday morning.
Harvest is the first place to buy new-season produce – the season’s first asparagus, or pinkeye potatoes, or raspberries. Fill a basket with heirloom vegetables and cherry pies, roasted hazelnuts and farmhouse cheeses. Browse the food trucks for breakfast or brunch, chat with farmers, and listen to live music.
Harvest Market is held every Saturday, 8.30am-12.30pm, at 71 Cimitiere St, Launceston.
