Mahon Point Farmers’ Market is the largest Farmers Market Cork has to offer, bringing together a diverse range of local farmers and artisan food producers in one large weekly market held outside the main entrance of Mahon Point Shopping Centre every Thursday morning from 10am to 2pm.
Established in 2006, Mahon Point Farmers’ Market has over 50 stalls of high-quality foods available, much of it organic, lovingly grown, produced or sourced by small producers across the county. The market has won an array of prestigious awards including the Good Food Ireland “Best Farmers Market Award” and the McKennas Guide “Best in Ireland” Award.
Sustainability:
Our vision for our weekly Farmers Market is to be as plastic free as possible and fully sustainable. We believe in local food systems and the majority of our stallholders grow, rear, catch or bake their produce within an hour’s drive of Mahon Point reducing food miles and providing the freshest food.
We are currently developing a project with CUSP (Cork Urban Soil Project) where all of our compostable market waste will be broken down in a bio
digester and turned into soil that will then be distributed to gardens and growing projects around the city.
