More than 30 local growers, artisans and “sustainability-focused brands” will set up shop at Temasek Shophouse’s outdoor community space on May 23 for Farmers Market @ Temasek Shophouse.
Held within the community spaces of Temasek Shophouse and Community Farm by Fullerton Fund Management, the market is designed to encourage Singaporeans to embrace sustainable living by making it easier to discover, support and enjoy locally produced goods.
Shoppers can look forward to a wide variety of freshly harvested produce from Singapore farms, alongside products from homegrown businesses. The farmers’ market provides access to a central, high-footfall venue and a ready community of like-minded visitors, according to Temasek Shophouse.
Each edition will feature programmes such as tours and sustainability-themed workshops, offering visitors a deeper appreciation of Singapore’s urban farming ecosystem and the role of conscious consumption.
For the first time, a guided tour of the community farm at Temasek Shophouse will be conducted in conjunction with the farmers’ market. The 45-minute programme will deepen public understanding of how food is grown and encourage more mindful consumption choices.

The community farm is an invitation for Singaporeans to step into a “living conversation” about nature, food and climate — right in the heart of Orchard Road, says Cynara Tan, managing director of marketing and corporate sustainability at Fullerton Fund Management. “By bringing local growers, makers and visitors together for a single day, we hope to make sustainability feel personal and practical, and show how everyday choices can support a more resilient Singapore.”
Yvonne Tay, CEO of Temasek Shophouse, says: “Together, we can show that small, intentional choices such as buying right can contribute towards [the] positive environmental impact our world needs.”
Farmers Market @ Temasek Shophouse will take place from 10am to 5.30pm on May 23.
