Tasmania is fiercely proud of its produce, with much being exported to decorate interstate and international tables. This fresh locally grown produce, while a pleasure to eat may wind up as a delicious pear cider from one of many local microbreweries.

For three decades local farmers have been bringing their wares to Salamanca Market. They arrive in the pre-dawn hours as the local pubs are emptying and proudly display their produce. The market provides an important meeting ground where a chat with the local character is as rewarding as the crisp, fresh fruit he sells.
