Wow what a great find. Stopped in while we were staying in town. Coffee was super hot, but the…read moreturmeric bread was spectacular. Had the best vegan pasty of my life. The popcorn was the perfect snack for the road, not too sweet. Also got some feijoa chutney, I had never had it before but now I'd highly recommend. Sad we couldn't go another weekend.

Needed to update this farmers market to 5 stars as I revisited recently and reviewed my own review…read more- all of what I previously stated still stands true. So, why then the extra star? - The surrounds are very, very beautiful. making for an uplifting environment (and would be great for artists - note to self, take the camera next tme!!), particularly since it is nearing Spring. Plus the vendors are consistantly very friendly and chatty, giving useful hints and recommendations, they seem genuine. This recent visit I tried some rice wrapped in a banana leaf with banana and coconut cream/milk from a lady from Laos; it was delicious! Thankyou lady from Laos... and for you pre-made dried spice and herb pack and sesame balls I bought too:) Yummo! Tip: Free parking as far as we are aware, never been instructed to pay yet whilst onsite.

Saturday mornings begin with an early dog walk followed by a trip to the farmers market at Oratia…read more It's here I pick up a cup of coffee, inevitably meet up with heaps of friends, and best of all purchase the most yummy ingredients for the coming week. Stall holders are well representative of the bounty our region offers, organic breads, organic butchers, fresh fruits and vegetables, cheeses, olive oils and preserves. And there are plenty of yummy treats to taste whilst here because shopping for all of this delicious fresh food makes you hungry. If we are early enough there is street parking, or you can park on the facility for a tiny fee. Next door is Artisan Wines and their gorgeous restaurant.

Has a lot of things on offer- including fresh fruits, veges, plants, flowers, arts and craft, jewellery, clothes etc as well as live music. Noticed a small corner dedicated to takeaway food in trucks- with a range of cuisines.

This is a great farmers market in Hamilton on Sunday mornings. It's located toward the back of the…read moreClaudelands Arena area. There are a lot of things I love about this place. There is a playground within walking distance, so I can do some browsing an shopping while my husband takes the kids for a run. There are some coffee stands at the market, so you can show up bright and early at 8:00, pick-up a coffee and get to shopping. Some stalls only take cash, so it helps to brings some. But if you've forgotten, there is an EFTPOS cash-out area where you can get some. Many vendors to accept EFTPOS anyway (but I haven't seen any that take credit cards yet). If you haven't had breakfast, you can pick-up some pastries or other morning goodies, a smoothie or some blueberry ice cream (I'm sure it is a healthy breakfast option). In addition to produce, there are also vendors selling cakes/pastries, fresh/smoked fish, pies, and a handful of craft vendors. There are often two musical acts playing (one inside the barn and one outside). So far, my favorite vendor is Soggy Bottom meats. Absolutely hands down some of the best sausages I've ever had. They also have mince, burgers, pies and often, a long line because everyone knows about this local gem. So, bring your reusable grocery bag and head on down!

If I was ever in of need motivation to start that new healthy lifestyle, this would most definitely…read morebe my first port of call. Row upon row of fresh vege, plump apricots the size of cricket balls, purple carrots AND purple broccolini... they even have potted wheatgrass! As well as produce these guys boast an impressive range of artisan products. Everything from elderflower cordial to Moroccan-spiced couscous. Plus they have a small but well-crafted wine section. However perhaps, the best thing about this place, is that everything seems to cheaper than what you would pay at a Food Market like this in AK. Don't get me wrong, you could still spend plenty of $$ up in here but I bet if you did the same shop in AK it would be substantially more expensive.

The fruit & vege selection is understandably great, considering all the market gardens in the area. It's awesome to see signs letting you know this is NZ- and locally-grown, even the garlic! And the prices are dirt-cheap for all the seasonal produce. They even have a small range of seedlings, herbs & vegetable plants. My kitchen counter is proudly displaying a big bowl of micro-green radish sprouts & I feel healthier every time I look at them! But Boric also has: a fresh fish counter, butchery, deli, icecream by the scoop, coffee, homemade cakes, dinners & salads, a kids' playground AND a boutique selection of homewares & the finest artisan products. And friendly staff. And a great wine, beer & cider selection. And I've probably missed something out. This is the kind of place that you could easily wander around for ages, progressively filling up that trolley more & more. I can see that will quickly become my new hobby!

Great local market for those in the Albany vicinity. Awesome value on the vegetable vendors. I…read morebought around $9 worth of vegetables which would normally cost me around $20-$30 at the supermarket. Awesome little vibe and not too many people around. Various food trucks were there offering great food - even one that was offering paleo/vegan food options. Pretty much the usual offering from a farmers market. This market is located in the car park of the North Harbour Stadium and across from Mc Donald's.

Parking was an issue. Great variety of vendors. My first day in NZ (flew in overnight) and when I passed the donut vendor, she was taking pictures of her wares and I remarked, what a good idea, they're lovely and I took a picture too, and slavered over them a bit more, but thought about the calories and started to move on, and an old man called me out saying you shouldn't take a picture unless you're going to buy something. I wasn't sure how to respond, but the vendor was super nice and said no worries. So, the picture is attached here to make you salivate too! :-)
