Best farmers markets in Singapore for fresh organic produce

A farmers’ market is a one-up from any supermarket experience; While with the same bustling activity and fresh food our traditional wet markets have, farmers’ markets focus more on organic produce, some homegrown. That’s not all – they also feature handcrafted items, workshops, and pop-up food stalls, making the whole atmosphere almost carnival-like.

Whether you’re a health nut seeking out organic goodies, or simply want a different sort of grocery shopping experience, these farmers’ markets in Singapore are worth hitting up.

1. Farmers’ Market @ Loewen Gardens

Farmers’ Market @ Loewens sells a variety of gourmet meat, cheeses and local organic produce. All vegetables sold are grown without the use of fertilisers and pesticides, and since you’ll be buying them directly from the ones who farm them, these veggies are much cheaper compared to the ones found in grocery stores.

They always have freshly-baked goods for sale too! From banana loafs to cupcakes and macarons, homegrown patissiers come together each time to create the ultimate spread of indulgence for sweet tooths.

Sold alongside the greens are organic products such as the Raw Himalayan Honey, all the way from Nepal: Image credit: @organichimalaya

The farmers’ market is held once a month on a Saturday, with each event inviting new food vendors. Past ones include Carrotsticks & Cravings, The Meat Club and Papa’s Grove.

2. Open Farm Community Social Market

On any other day, Open Farm Community is a quaint restaurant serving up dishes made with produce from local farmers. But during their monthly Social Market, their outdoor terrace and carpark transforms into a bustling market, selling fresh produce and handmade items, along with a fun range of activities great for families to partake in together.

Each Social Market is themed differently, but accommodates people of all ages. Their recent “Kids Day Out” event had bouncy castles, game booths, and popsicles to keep the kiddos occupied – while their parents sneaked away to enjoy glasses of wine and cocktails!

People of the older generation are usually sticklers for tradition, so grocery shopping is pretty much synonymous with the wet market for them. But the Farmers’ Market @ Central Singapore is one that even gramps will enjoy.

Besides the farmers’ market, there’s also a farm-to-table restaurant for visitors to relax and dine in. The Poison Ivy Bistro is known for its Nasi Lemak Platter ($18), a dish big enough to feed two! If you have a bigger party with you, opt for the larger-sized plate at $36 which is good for 4.

You can even join group activities such as farm tours, terrarium building or even potting classes here.

Note: Group activities require a minimum of 20pax and have to be booked in advance. Prices start from $15 per person.

Held quarterly, the Kranji Countryside Farmers’ Market is the largest farmers’ market in Singapore, bringing together more than 40 local farms and food vendors. If you’re planning on heading down, do arrive early to avoid the crowd!

The market sells a variety of items such as potted plants and handcrafted items, but we recommend going straight for the food. As bizarre as they sound, the Frog Pops ($5) and Crocodile Tail Nuggets ($5) are the best sellers! But if you’d prefer safer options, Har Cheong Kai and fresh oysters are available too.

Parents can take the opportunity to sign their kiddos up for fun activities here – some of these include pottery classes, and archery lessons for aspiring Legolases.
