What to do and see in New Zealand, New Zealand: The Best Farmers Markets

September 12, 2021 Agatha Simes

New Zealand (/njuːˈziːlənd/ ( listen); Māori: Aotearoa [aɔˈtɛaɾɔa]) is an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. The country geographically comprises two main landmasses—the North Island (Te Ika-a-Māui), and the South Island (Te Waipounamu)—and around 600 smaller islands. New Zealand is situated some 1,500 kilometres (900 mi) east of Australia across the Tasman Sea and roughly 1,000 kilometres (600 mi) south of the Pacific island areas of New Caledonia, Fiji, and Tonga. Because of its remoteness, it was one of the last lands to be settled by humans. During its long period of isolation, New Zealand developed a distinct biodiversity of animal, fungal and plant life. The country's varied topography and its sharp mountain peaks, such as the Southern Alps, owe much to the tectonic uplift of land and volcanic eruptions. New Zealand's capital city is Wellington, while its most populous city is Auckland.

Otago Farmers Market

The Otago Farmers Market delivers the very best of what the region produces every Saturday morning rain, hail or shine. Situated beside the historic Dunedin Railway Station up to 75 vendors sell a delicious range of fruit, vegetables, meats,eggs, bread, cheese, condiments and yummy breakfast and brunch options including great coffee.

Highly recommended if you're in Dunedin over the weekend (opened every Saturday from 8-12:30 and once the country lock down is lifted). Located right beside the iconic Railway station you can pick fresh fruit, veg, meat and flowers. We got some cheap strawberries, blueberries and apples. The real find was the giant salmon we purchased for only $12. Chinese woman before us was trying to barter by offering $10...didn't realize southeast Asia rules of trade don't apply in NZ. My wife got ingredients like onion and garlic to cook the salmon back at our hostel. **there is a truck that sells good souvenirs. Be sure to get your free magnet.

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.

Bay of Islands Farmers Market

The Bay of Islands Farmers Market operates an authentic Farmers Market in Kerikeri every Sunday morning 8:30 am to 12 and in Paihia on the Village Green 1pm-4pm every Thursday. We are open rain or shine. All produce is produced in the Northland region and sold by stall holders who have a part in the growing or production of what they sell. If you have any questions feel free to ask the stall holders, they are more than happy to tell you about their products and how best to cook or store them. Come along and purchase some of the freshest products you can find direct from the producers and support local producers.

We went to this lovely little market after disembarking from the cruise ship. Lots of beautiful handmade gifts and local produce to choose from. It’s only a small market, but was a lovely way to spend some time whilst in Bay of Islands.

Nelson Farmers' Market

Reviewed By DragonSuz - Gold Coast, Australia

Nelson farmers market is a very busy market situated just behind the Main Street of Nelson. Lots of local produce as well as locally made skin products , jewellery and special treats like hand made chocolates as a few stalls selling a variety of clothing. You need a couple of hours for a proper look. Well represented in all areas it provides a pleasant morning and the Main Street with shops and cafes a couple of mins away.
