The Haymarket

For more than 80 years, The Haymarket has been a locally owned and operated company in Ballarat. Greg, Ian, Philip, and Robert Taylor continue to run the family business. Proudly employing over thirty staff, we support many community events and clubs throughout the Ballarat region. 

Originally trading as the Hancock Company, the business first began in 1943 and was located in Armstrong Street, opposite the new Government Hub site. We are now located at 112 Market Street on the corner of Doveton St Ballarat, as well as having a second outlet at 902 La Trobe Street Delacombe and the family farm at Camperdown-Lismore Road Lismore provides grain and hay for our produce department.

‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹‹The annual Ballarat Begonia Festival will be beginning this weekend on March 8th, and the city is set come alive with colour courtesy of the biggest begonia collection in the Southern Hemisphere! Ensure you are aligning your business with the festivities, and staffed accordingly to meet the demands of all the visitors coming to town! As always, we are beyond pleased to see the charm of our wonderful region put on display. Take your friends, family, and colleagues out and take the opportunity to stop and smell the flowers!
