1: Market Juice
Compliment your post yoga zen with a delicious (and extremely healthy) Market Juice. Located in the heart of Shed-A's fresh produce shed, Market Juice have been in the business for more than 50 years. The tasty range is free from additives, preservatives or concentrates, and made from 100% Australian produce. Mmm...
2: Organic Meats
Make your way across Queen Street Plaza and through to the Market's historic Meat and Fish Hall. If you're on the hunt for organic meats, then you have two options; Hagen's Organic Meat & Mr Organics. Hagen's Organic Meats was one of Victoria's very first organic butcheries, working closely with their farmers to ensure the best quality organic goods. Further down the hall, you will find Mr Organics, specialising in organically pasture-fed, free range pork, lamb, beef and poultry range mostly from Victoria.
3. Pantry
As you exit the Meat and Fish Hall, you will soon find yourself in front of the iconic Queen Victoria Market entrance. Take a short walk along the bustling Al Fresco eateries of Elizabeth Street, and through to the infamous Dairy Produce Hall. Stock up on Organic Quinoa at M & G Caifa, browse the endless selection of locally and internationally blended teas at McIvers Coffee & Tea Merchants, or enjoy a healthy salad, soup or smoothie from one of the hall's many vendors. We also recommend a visit to Gewürzhaus Herb & Spice Merchants where you can 'pick n mix' just about anything from turmeric to black lava sea salt.
4: Healthy Treats
From here, make your way past the eclectic Therry Street Pop Ups shops and to Invita. Take a seat, relax, enjoy the sounds of the buskers, and indulge in a not so naughty piece of vegan & gluten free chocolate cake with an organic fair trade coffee!

From here, pay a visit to Market Organics and browse the delicious range of certified organic and biodynamic, vegan and gluten free grocery products that includes milk, yoghurts, rice, cereals, tofus, grains, jams, honey and more.
6: Skincare & Beauty

At Coconut Revolution, you will find a range of products boasting the much loved benefits of pure Coconut Oil, including moisturisers, body scrubs, soaps and more. From here, make your way to De'Bee Signature Lip Balms to pick up a tub of your very own hand crafted balm, made from the honey of Ballarat Bees.
