Located in South Murwillumbah, New South Wales, the Murwillumbah Farmers Market offers a vibrant midweek pulse where fresh local produce and laid-back outdoor adventure converge. Pedals and Picnics has crafted an experience that transforms a simple farmers market visit into an immersive morning of food discovery paired with gentle cycling along the Northern Rivers Rail Trail. This Wednesday ritual begins at 8 am, where guests gather at 8 Railway Street to start their day with a light breakfast and coffee, accompanied by live local music that sets a relaxed, inviting tone.
After a short bus ride to the bustling farmers market, participants have time to handpick fresh fruits, vegetables, artisanal cheeses, and other market delights. This selection serves as the foundation for a DIY picnic — a highlight that encourages engaging with the region’s agricultural roots and seasonal bounty. Back on the Northern Rivers Rail Trail, your custom grazing box and picnic essentials are waiting, packed into an insulated basket, alongside your choice of an eBike or push bike for the day.
Cycling the gently rolling trail, framed by native Australian flora and shaded stretches of tall gums, guests find their own ideal picnic spot to savor the meal they composed from market finds. The ride itself is accessible, weaving through a landscape rich with subtropical textures and subtle wildlife sightings, including parrot calls overhead and the occasional wallaby in the distance.
