Bellarine Farmgate

Established in 2021, Bellarine Farmgate is the business name for the not-for-profit Bellarine Peninsula Growers, Producers and Consumers Association Incorporated (BPGPCA Inc.)
The association has a vision of burgeoning local food production on the Bellarine, connecting growers with residents keen to purchase fresh, high quality locally grown produce.
The Bellarine Farmgate market is located at 218 Murradoc Road, Drysdale. Around 20 local growers bring their produce to the market for sale, with volunteers opening the produce market on Saturday and Sunday.

Open hours change between Summer and Winter as defined by daylight saving dates:
Summer: Sat 9am to 2pm and Sun 10am to 1pm
Winter: Sat 9am to 3pm and Sun 10am to 2pm

Bellarine Farmgate also aims to connect local landowners, growers and producers with enthusiastic growers. We are working with other local associations such as Bellarine Landcare to run demonstrations and workshops for sustainable farming practices.

Increasing food production on the Bellarine will take time as crops take time to grow and farmers need time to plan their planting. Farmers also need to know that there are local consumers who want to purchase their crops.

The Bellarine Farmgate committee members are all volunteers with elections for office bearers taking place each October.
