Hamilton Farmers' Market is the only authentic Farmers' Market in Hamilton. Meaning that all vendors must be the growers, bakers, coffee roasters etc. Established in 2006, this market has recently moved to a large refurbished horse barn at the back of the Claudelands Events centre so hail, rain or shine it is a great place to purchase fresh meat, fish, vegetables and quality baking etc.

This is the first time we visited this market and are wondering why it has taken us so long!! We are from out of town but have often visited on weekends in the past 18 months, enough to warrant going. There are some very good stalls with plenty of variety for birthday and Christmas gift ideas. One particular stall has cheap greenstone pendants, the cheapest I have seen for a long time. I am super-happy with my purchase there. There is plenty of sinful food to eat, including churros and donuts. There is no shelter from the weather elements, so be sure to dress accordingly and/or bring an umbrella. We will be back for sure!!

5. Coroglen Farmers Market

A gorgeous delight to savour the food and produce of Coroglen on a beautiful summers day. Started off with a bacon & egg muffin with homemade plum sauce (Next time I’ll try the mussel fritters). The vegetable garden at back of the Gumtown hall was bursting with yummy stuff. The vendor just walked off and harvested fresh rock melons on the spot. A glass of fresh tangelo juice and a mug of Lala coffee under the umbrella capped off a great little outing from Hahei beach campground. A plum and yogurt ice block cooled us on the drive home and we had a fresh sourdough loaf with local Orua olive oil for lunch Yum
