Barossa, Gawler and the Northern Plains: Buying Direct When It's Not Saturday Morning
The Barossa's market is a Saturday morning institution. Here is where to buy direct from growers and bakers across the corridor the other six days.
If you know one thing about buying direct in the Barossa, it is the market at Angaston on a Saturday morning. Deservedly: it is one of the good ones, and if you can get there before the bread goes, you should.
But it is open for four hours a week. The growers, bakers and beekeepers behind it live and work in the corridor the whole time, and a lot of them sell from their own place the other six days. That is what this list is: the Barossa, Gawler and the northern plains when it is not Saturday morning.
Every stall below is live on SideStall right now, and each name links to its stall page: what they have, their hours, and one-tap directions.
Nuriootpa and Tanunda
- Cakes By Kadi · celebration cakes and baking, made in Nuriootpa.
- 3 Hives Apiary · honey from the Barossa floor.
- Ante's Olive Oil · oil from a grower who presses their own.
- Fresh Fruit · a plain-spoken name for a fruit stall.
- Tanunda · Homegrown Produce, which is exactly what it says.
Angaston, Keyneton and Ebenezer
- Sadie Sourdough at Keyneton · real sourdough from a home baker, and the sort of thing that sells out. Worth pre-ordering.
- Auggies Kitchen at Ebenezer · a proper little kitchen operation with a handful of things on the go.
- The Browning Bunch at Angaston · flowers, for when you are already up that way.
Gawler and around
- The Bread Basket at Roseworthy · bread, close enough to Gawler to be a weekly habit.
- Eternal Blooms by Sarah at Hewett · the biggest flower listing in the corridor.
- Couch Products at Freeling · scorpion chilli for anyone who wants their eyes to water, and potted strawberry shoots if you would rather grow your own.
Two Wells and the plains
This stretch north of Adelaide is quietly one of the densest pockets of gate-selling in the state.
- Baked at Home at Two Wells · the busiest listing in the area.
- Winlow Farm at Two Wells.
- My Garden In Eden at Two Wells.
- Two Wells Flowers.
- The Egg Co at MacDonald Park · eggs, from the people who keep the chooks.
- Fresh Fruit at Angle Vale.
- The Farm Project at Waterloo Corner.
How to run it as a trip
Two natural routes. If you are coming out of Adelaide, the plains run (Waterloo Corner, Angle Vale, Two Wells, MacDonald Park) is a tight loop with bread, eggs, fruit and flowers in under an hour of driving. If you are already in the valley, the Nuriootpa–Tanunda–Angaston triangle plus a run out to Keyneton covers honey, oil, sourdough and cake.
The practical advice is the same as anywhere: these are people's homes, so check the stall page before you set off, pre-order the bread, and bring cash as well as your phone. Each stall page tells you what that seller takes.
