Locals in the market for fresh fruit, vegies

Organisers say more than 5000 people visited the markets in Jindalee over the first three weekends in March, prompting a decision last month to continue holding them every weekend.

Satterley Property Group's community development co-ordinator Lyndsey Stoney said the markets had been well received by the local community.

"We were blown away with how popular the markets were and how Perth's north coast community responded to having their very own farmers markets," Ms Stoney said.

"Stallholders are continuing to fill up their trucks with more produce every week to keep up with the demand."

Paul Ashbolt, from the Leederville Farmers Market, which has been co-ordinating the markets throughout March, said it was great to be able to bring the tastes and sounds from the thriving inner city Leederville Farmers Market to Eden Beach.

"The first three weekends have been terrific and we look forward to having a short break over Easter, before returning permanently every Saturday from April 11 from 8am to 12.30pm."

The market is located on the corner of Reflection Boulevard and Midsummer Avenue, Jindalee.
