A delightful blend of farm fresh produce, lawn games, live music and something to eat and drink, the Towri Growers Market is a charming way to spend a Saturday in the South East Queensland countryside.
Towri Growers Market
Located around an hour’s drive from Brisbane at Allenview. The Towri property consists of 300 acres of scenic rural land. In this peaceful country location, a group of local Scenic Rim farmers come together for the Towri Growers Market on the first Saturday of the month.
Suppose your family needs an escape from the city or the suburbs. In that case, this lovely market is more like a picnic destination than a farmer’s market.
In fact, bringing a picnic blanket is a great idea, but if you forget yours, grab one from the basket near the entry as the wide open lawn invites you to take a seat and enjoy the cruisey sound of live music.
Several quaint tables and chairs, most under shade umbrellas, are provided throughout the garden.
At the market, you can purchase dairy products, eggs, vegetables, honey, sheep’s cheese, and meat directly from the farmers. A collection of local makers also offers an assortment of beautiful handmade items.
Lawn games are placed around the garden to entertain the kids. There is also a pen of sheep and a few baby goats ready to receive gentle pats. Sheep milking demonstrations also occur at 10 am.
The Towri Growers Market is ideal for a lazy brunch on a sunny Saturday. Coffee and wine can both be purchased. Please drink responsibly and ensure a designated driver is present.
As a boutique market with only a handful of vendors, the choice of food is limited, and outside food is prohibited.
A word from Dallas Davidson from Towri Sheep Cheeses:
“It’s so rewarding to see our vision come to life! Connections and collaborations between farmers and consumers shine bright at the Towri Growers Markets, with customers putting in pre-orders with our producers and really getting on board with supporting other local growers and makers! To say your farm hosts such a day is a beautiful humbling thing! Each month we aim to deliver an experience like no other for guests and take great pride in welcoming back repeat customers! To see kids enjoying the lawn games, feeding our sheep and just running around like kids is a lovely sight and I hope a moment of peace and quiet for parents”
Accessibility at Towri Growers Market
Towri Sheep Cheeses is a country property, and movement between some of the vendor’s stalls occurs without paved walkways. The land is mostly flat and covered with grass. Paved walkways connect the main structure to the large stall toilets.
The host advises that guests with wheelchairs visit the property, but the toilets are not wheelchair approved. Please get in touch with the Towri Sheep Cheeses directly to discuss any concerns.

What We Thought About Towri Growers Market
We had a pleasurable experience on our visit to the Towri Growers Market. The warm sun, fresh air and wide open spaces were very calming.
My little Brisbane Kid enjoyed frolicking in the garden and fooling around with the lawn games. His highlight, however, was devouring an ice cream purchased directly from the dairy farmers. I enjoyed one as well!
