Hello Traders!
We’re excited to invite you to apply for the Growers Hub Summer Food Festival, a celebration of local produce, creativity, and community.
The Summer Food Festival is the launch phase of the new Growers Hub, a space where Riverina growers, makers, and locals come together to reimagine how our region eats, connects, and thrives. It’s more than a market. It’s a movement for local food culture and we’d love for you to be part of this next chapter.
How to Apply
To participate in a market stall and/or in the cooperative, you’ll need to:
Complete the Growers Hub Trader Application Form here.

Once approved, you’ll receive an invitation to register your stall in Issimo for event booking.
NOTE: Vendor bookings are currently open for the 2025 Growers Hub Summer Festival period only - Coop and 2026 market bookings will open late 2025.
