About Us

The Haymarket in Ballarat

    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 family are proud to say that they have provided feed ranging from something as simple as feeding your backyard chooks, to supplying the hay that fed the horse that won the Melbourne Cup.

     Our heating department are a team of specialists who will help you find the ideal energy efficient system that you require to heat and or air condition your home, no matter what the temperature is outside. All our products can be custom installed by our expert qualified plumbing team.
