Jonsson's Farm Market

Jonsson's Farm Market is a local-focused market serving Cairns shoppers with fresh produce, meat, groceries and other products sourced from regional producers and businesses. The market describes its approach as “paddock to plate”, with an emphasis on freshness, quality and fair pricing rather than the standard supermarket model. Its range includes in-season local fruit and vegetables, fresh meat, flowers, dairy and frozen products, along with additional local goods.

The business has a strong farming connection. The Jonsson family are fourth-generation farmers from the Atherton Tablelands, and the market was established to give local producers another way to reach customers. Its model aims to reduce some of the costs involved in sending goods to southern markets, while returning more value to farmers and making regional products available to the local community in one place.

This is a useful stop for households stocking up on everyday fresh food, shoppers looking for locally grown produce, and customers who prefer to support farmers and smaller regional businesses. The market also offers weekly specials and gift vouchers, which may suit anyone putting together a practical gift or looking for local products to take home. The wholesale and retail format means it caters to both individual shoppers and larger purchasing needs, although the website does not provide details about seating, dining or a café-style experience.

Jonsson's Farm Market is listed at 31 Johnston Street, Stratford, and trades from early morning through the week: Monday to Saturday from 6am to 6pm, Sunday from 6am to 5pm, and public holidays from 9am to 5pm. For Cairns North and wider Cairns shoppers, it offers a direct connection to local farming and food production, backed by a clear focus on regional supply and community support.
