The Nest Markets

09/06/2026

If you have one goal at The Nest Markets this Saturday, make it this...

Help Luca sell out.

Luca has been passionate about farming since he was a little kid. We’ve known his since he was 8. It’s what drives him and he even gets his friends involved.

This season, he and his family have grown a beautiful crop of Butternut Pumpkins locally in Jamberoo, and this Saturday he'll be bringing them to market.

We love supporting local artists, musicians, makers and growers. This week, let's get behind a young farmer and show him what community support looks like.

Buy a pumpkin. Say hello. Encourage a dream.

Let's see if we can send Luca home with an empty trailer.

Another little look at what’s coming this Saturday the 13th of June… so exciting!!

We are proud to support small businesses, farmers and our community and we focus on locally made, grown and crafted items.

Last markets we had about 70% of local stall holders from right here in the Illawarra. These people will in turn spend money in your businesses, support your teams and you may know them from schools or community groups.
