Meet Adrienne: The Egg Lady South Melbourne Market Shoppers Know and Love
Published 4 August 2026
Affectionately known by regulars as "The Egg Lady", Adrienne has built a loyal following through her passion for local food, friendly service and commitment to supporting Victorian farmers.
For more than 40 years, Adrienne from Babe's Eggs has been a familiar face at South Melbourne Market. Having grown up at the Market, she's become a much-loved trader and a trusted source of quality produce for generations of shoppers.
If you've been searching for Babe's Eggs, you'll now find Adrienne in Aisle C opposite Frank's Fruit & Veg. While she's been a fixture at South Melbourne Market for more than 40 years, her stall relocated around a year ago, and some customers are still surprised to discover she's in a new home. Rest assured, the friendly face, quality produce and local favourites you've come to know and love are exactly the same.
At Babe's Eggs, Adrienne carefully selects a range of free-range eggs, milk, honey and pantry staples from trusted local suppliers, bringing the very best of the farm gate to Market customers. Shoppers will also find her popular homemade jams and preserves, made with the same care and attention that has made the business a longstanding Market favourite.
As part of her ongoing commitment to supporting local farmers and producers, Adrienne is also introducing a new monthly tasting series at her stall. On the last weekend of every month, customers can enjoy free tastings hosted by local suppliers and farmers, providing a chance to meet the people behind the products, learn more about where their food comes from, and sample some of Victoria's finest produce.
Next time you're at the Market, be sure to visit Adrienne in her new home in Aisle C and keep an eye out for the monthly tasting events.
