We first attended the Market in Sept 2014.
The use of this shared stall has grown to become a valuable opportunity for local community groups to network and share their own information and resources!
It’s a great activity, full of great people and very enjoyable, with many engagement opportunities.
Local community groups are invited to apply to share our stall for networking and promotion of their services (space and weather willing). Refer Guest Guidelines below.
The Seaford Farmers' Market is run by the Frankston Rotary Club and is held between 8am - 1pm on the third Sunday of every month.

The SCC is proud to be a part of the Seaford Farmers' Market. We manage and share our stall with other local community groups for networking and promotion of services and activities. We attend to raise awareness of issues, gain support for SCC’s activities, have surveys completed, receive new issues and email addresses for our irregular Newsletters.
Melinda runs a free book club (https://www.facebook.com/123Read2Me), obtaining unwanted children's books and giving them to others, so the books are a giveaway / drawcard that attracts the punters (sorry, people) to our stall. People also drop off unwanted books for sharing with others.
