CERES Joe's Market Garden

Joe's Market Garden is a two acre organic market garden on Wurundjeri Country. We pay our respect to the Traditional owners, past, present and Emerging.

The banks of the Merri Creek have been used as a site for food production for thousands of years. Our two and a half acre organic market garden sits upon the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri. Our two and a half acre organic market garden is Melbourne’s last surviving inner city market garden, having been farmed continuously by Chinese and Italian gardeners for over 150 years. In 2003 CERES began farming here under the guidance of Joe Garita. Previously known as the Merri Creek Market Garden, Joe's Market Garden is a commercial market garden growing mostly leafy greens, herbs and and fruiting vegetables such as cherry tomatoes, zucchini and capsicum. All produce grown is sold through CERES Fair Food, our own delivery veggie boxes, and a farm gate stall every day from 8:30 am to 1:00 pm. If you are interested in volunteering please see the volunteer page on the ceres.org.au website.

We're thrilled to show you the new upgrades we've been working on for the Farmgate and Volunteer Hub at Joe's supported by funding from Merri-bek City Council Community Grants program and by the efforts and commitment of our many volunteers.

Big shout out to George and Gary for their build and design skills, to Silke for leading the planting and to the wider Joe's community who bring smiles, pooches and picnic rugs to enjoy the farm.

(Before and after pics to give you an idea!)

Autumn farming 😍

Broadbeans are coming along very nicely! We sowed some radish in-between to make the most of our bed space ❤️ Looking forward to having to having broadbeans in October!
