The Bendigo Community Farmers Market takes place on the second Saturday of every month at Bendigo Foodshare, located at 227 Breen Street, Golden Square, from 9:00 am to 12:30 pm.

Our market is proudly accredited by the Victorian Farmers Market Association (VFMA), ensuring that shoppers can trust they are buying directly from the farmers and producers who grow and make the goods.

The market is organized by a dedicated volunteer committee, supported by paid market managers.

The Bendigo Share and Repair Shed is a community based organisation that started as the Bendigo Repair Cafe in 2017 and has since grown to include a Tool Library, Useful Bin, Food is Free Table and a range of other ‘re’ and ‘up’ cycling services.

They also offer a ‘one stop’ recycling drop off for small items and a Community Swap table where people can pick up and/or drop off useful items.

The experienced volunteers also offer workshops, education and general information about recycling, upcycling and reusing

Let’s make Bendigo a plastic bag free city and introduce Boomerang Bags (Now a World-Wide Movement). Produce reusable bags from unused or recycled fabric that can be borrowed and brought back.

We thank Leanne James and Loretta Kingston-Smith for setting up this group and the many volunteers who engaged the community and produced thousands of bags to reduce waste using recycled material and helped educate many to use alternatives to single use plastic.

The BendiGO Tap Action Group was formed to raise awareness of the problems of using bottled water. Encouraging the provision and consumption of tap water instead of the costly and resource-intensive bottled alternative.

Planet Squad: a place for kids to come together, share ideas and set goals for looking after the planet – whatever that looks like for them. From living a more eco-friendly life, to taking action on climate change, it’s more fun with friends!

Working from various resources, with activities and gentle guidance from adults, this group is for kids to create their own ideas for getting involved and doing something positive for the planet.
