Main Street Merchants

A retail collective on Sale's Foster Street that hands its floor to more than a hundred Gippsland makers, growers and small businesses at once. The mix runs across homewares, gifts, crafts, fashion and fresh flowers, with an emphasis on locally made and sustainable goods, a single shopfront that works as a shifting showcase for the region's cottage producers. It sits alongside the same operators' vintage warehouse next door, together turning this stretch of the street into a browsing destination. Open daily, it is a practical answer to finding local work without driving farm gate to farm gate across the district.
