The 7 Best Farmers Markets in Canterbury Region, South Island
Christchurch, the Garden City, and the Canterbury region are the perfect destination for daredevils. From northern Kaikoura to Waimate in the south, Canterbury is an adventure sports paradise. Hangliding, helibiking, bungee jumping, snowboarding, jetboating, rafting and skydiving get the adrenaline going. Golfing, flightseeing, swimming with dolphins and soaking in thermal pools are more laid-back temptations. Christchurch, a city of parks and gardens, is the countrys third largest urban area.

I generally go on a Friday stat day and ventured there around 10am on show day in November. The place was busy and had plenty of great stalls selling all sorts of things such as baking, Olive Oil, wine, vegetables, seedlings, meat, Eggs, fruit, exotic mushrooms, cheese, olives, nuts, etc etc. Also there are several craft stalls and several food trucks serving a variety of different styles of food. If you are in the area on a Friday morning then it is definitely worth a visit particularly on a Stat day.

Christchurch's premiere Farmers' Market centrally located in the picturesque grounds of the historic Riccarton House & Grounds, 16 Kahu rd, just 5 minutes walk from Riccarton Mall. Open every Saturday from 9am - 1pm. Stroll through the amazing array of local, fresh, seasonal food stalls, talk to farmers, producers and artisans, indulge in fresh organic coffees, relax on the riverbank or the expansive grounds and listen to live music.

Very walkable with lots of tasty lunch options plus honey, venison sausages, high quality cheeses, flowers, veg & fruits. I actually liked that it wasn’t enormously big. Lovely park setting.

Interesting place to visit and a definite 'must do' to stop and eat. Cool and funky with a 'Melbourne' vibe. Had a the best Baklava here, from Izmir Delight. Can't wait to visit again.'
