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!

This countdown is really large, it feels expansive when you walk in because they allow you to…read moreaccess wherever you want without having to wind your way through all the fruit and veges first. Nice one Countdown. Their Halloween stand was decent, sweets and props and easy to find. The meat section I don't like the way it's set out but they do have a lot of free range though not much if any organic meat products. The carpark always seems congested here. Even though there are spare carparks, the flow isn't right.

Was told the shelf was full of them that the girl had just seen the selves full. So head over to get some and what do you know. Same empty shelves as yesterday. The girl lied, knowing I was coming from out of town and that there were none yesterday when I was there. Pretty disappointing really.

Not as much range as Auckland stores particularly in the meat department. But I'm impressed with their dedicated gluten free stand near the eggs. Plenty of parking and wide aisles to load your carts up in.

I love this place. Love it. Because I can eat almost everything in it. Being plagued with being…read moregluten and dairy free has its challenges when trying to shop at most supermarkets. But not this one. They have everything you need if you're on a specialty diet, or if you're just following the crowd and doing it anyways. It's really handy if you need something on your way home from work as it's open until 7pm on weekdays. And it also has a brilliant community vibe that makes me want to always go there because I know I'm helping a local business. I'm always surprised with what I find there, they make my life a whole lot easier as I know I can go there and come out with everything I need to make a meal that I can enjoy.

Lovely health food store in a nice neighborhood of Auckland. I enjoyed chatting with the friendly,…read morehelpful staff. Thank you!
