I have been attending the markets for four years now. My business has grown so much in this time and I attribute this to attending these markets. It has helped my customer base who keep coming back to see me.
I have always found this team to be strong in communication, always supportive and helpful. They are organised, fabulous at getting the word out about the market's and other events to help all our businesses grow.
The overall vibe of the market is perfect. The styling and every touch is unique and not overdone. I feel it is organic in its approach as it seems to me they use recycled materials rather than wasteful ones. I have on occasion contributed by donating items to be used rather than scrap, this gives me great delight!
One thing that does stand out to me is the quality of the stalls. There is an artisan approach all aligned with the overall feel of the market being quality of the market.
Lastly, I would like to give thanks for all the hard work you do that does not go unnoticed.

We've been attending Foragers Market since 2016. We have traded at Foragers Market Bulli, Eat St Market and Eat St Bulli.
My brother recommended Foragers Market back in 2016. He said it's probably a good place to start a small business like mine. I visited the market and felt it was perfect!
We have traded at various markets and still by far Foragers Market is one of the best markets for us. It has a great vibe and not like any ordinary market. Generally, with other markets, you just shop and then go home. But at Foragers, everyone drops by and has a good time. It has become a great local hangout. There's lots of interaction with the customers and community, and as a result it's one of the places were we have the strongest following! The team also outs in alot of work with their decoration and styling, which helps with the market vibe.
Th ere's always lots of local artisans that trade at Foragers Market and I personally think it's a foodie destination for some great eats :)
We were very fortunate to start trading at Foragers back in 2016. We're a small business offering ready-to-eat vegan food (all of which are handmade by us). We started when the vegan movement is still in its early stages. The team at Foragers were friendly and allowed flexibility for us to spread our wings and grow. They allowed us to get exposure to other vegan initiatives while we trade at Foragers. The community have been very supportive of us and to help us grow to where we are now. We still have loyal customers to this day.

FOXYTROT but I started off as BLUCY
I’ve been coming to Foragers soon after it launched. So a bit over 4 years now I think.
I came as a patron with Maria from Eliza Jade Candles one day to “check it out”. Immediately I fell I love with the vibe and the atmosphere and crossed my fingers and toes that my application was successful. Thank god it was as I was hooked after the first foragers market that I did.
The market "VIBE" Is one of the original “chill out hipster” vibe markets. To me, it has a mini festival feel. With trendy patrons from the South Coast, to day trippers from Sydney and locals all just hanging out, getting their local produce and enjoying the awesome funky live music whilst catching up with friends. I love that since coming regularly to foragers markets I have built up such a great rapport with my customers, that they have now become my friends.
From yummy food trucks to gelato, my beautiful artwork to boho clothing and everything in-between. It’s a real mix and so wonderful that most of the stalls are the actual maker or grower. So you can get the full lowdown of exactly how things were created or produced. I know for my stall and the art that I sell, I’m always telling my customers the meaning of a particular piece or the reason how it came about.
I love it. From Wollongong Friday Foragers to now every second Sunday at Bulli. I love seeing my regular customers. I love serving away with funky music in the background. I love quickly doing my own grocery shopping when I have a spare moment and I love hanging out with my neighbour (the stall next to me!!!) and getting to know them and whatever it might be that they are selling. If we all support each other and we all work together as a team, that’s what gives the market such a fun, positive atmosphere. Because if you love what you do and you respect the people around you, you’ll have an awesome day no matter what.

Breakfastime
I have a small business called BREAKFASTIME at foragers market for the past 2.5 years. I make gourmet burgers and I consider myself very lucky to be part of the great team. Felt very privileged when I got in to do my first market as Foragers team is known to only handpick the best in town and being part of the Foragers family was the best thing for my small business.
The business is run like a tight ship. The amount of hours going behind the process is amazing. Right from the allocation of stalls to the amazing decor they put on is just unbelievable. When we turn up at the markets early in the morning, the warm welcome we get from Kirrili and her well trained staff is amazing. We always felt that we are an important part of their business.
Every market day is different with different theme’s, different eye catching decors, kids activities and amazing live music. The community just loves it and actively participates every event they host. I have had people coming from Sydney just to attend Foragers events.
Having been around different markets and events hosted around Sydney and surrounds, Foragers does the best job. They know what they are doing and does it with love.
Foragers team has created such a vibrant opportunity for our small businesses to thrive and prosper. Let’s not forget the amount of job opportunities that have created for the local area.
I look forward to working with the Foragers team for a long time.
Kirrily, this is written from the bottom of my heart. You are truly doing an amazing job. Great job and keep it going.

Fat Wren Farm
Attending for 1 1/2 years
The Foragers team, in our experience, are excellent. From the get go they were organised, welcoming and friendly. We do many markets and these guys
know their stuff. Marketing and social media are outstanding, the last monthly Foragers at Bulli was one of our best markets to date.
The Vibe of the markets differs with each day. Our Friday Foragers is more of a farmers market vibe. Regular shoppers and loads of food options.
The Bulli Foragers Monthly is more of a destination market. The people come in early and stay for the entertainment, lunch and shopping.
Stall quality is high, good selection of different varieties.
Our experience with the Foragers team has been nothing but positive! We really enjoy each market we attend.
They have a loyal customer following and great attention to detail.
We love what you do!
Mel, Nick and the Fat Wren team!

Customer feedback 2nd Sunday Bulli
Love love love these Markets. Variety of fruit and vegetable stalls, jewellery, vegan, vegetarian, cakes and pastries, clothing and much much more. Always has amazing live entertainment with plenty of seating outside and indoors. ATM available. Plenty of parking. Great vibe and relaxing day out.
Love Sunny Sunday's chillin' to tunes on the hill. Great stalls. Great atmosphere. Dog friendly. :)
Such a great mix of food and other market goodies. All of the stall holders were lovely and the atmosphere was great. It was a very dog friendly environment too which is always a bonus!
Fresh produce, great stand to tryout some kombucha flavours, variety of food on offering. Live music and sit down area outside. Indoors there is an area of the kids to run lose and play and nice seating to soak up the atmosphere. Better to come to these markets when the artisan stalls are here too.
Great selection of food stalls (especially the fruit juice). Lovely to sit out on the grass on the bean bags and chairs listening to live music on a sunny day.
What fabulous markets..So much to choose from. Dog friendly. Great food.
