The 5 Best Farmers Markets in Auckland, North Island
The Māori call Auckland Tāmaki Makaurau — a maiden desired by 100 lovers,
and a valuable territory fought over for centuries for its fertile land and
natural harbors on the Pacific Ocean (to the east) and Tasman Sea (to the
west). Today, it’s New Zealand’s largest city: A vibrant and diverse place
where nature and urban life go hand-in- hand, with 48 volcanic cones, more
than 50 islands, and 29,000 km of coastline and beaches just minutes away
from the arts and shopping of the central city.

A very popular art and craft market. Lots of variety and good quality products. Also a variety of food stalls/caravans for snacks or lunch. Plenty of parking in paddock off Glenmore Road for gold coin donation to scouts at the gate.

I honestly and truly wish I had the time to go back to the Matakana markets every Saturday. The atmosphere, people, attractions and food are that good. It is a gorgeous drive down the coast (taking tolls from Auckland saves you about ten to fifteen minutes) my advice is to skip tolls and go the long way. Matakana itself is a gorgeous town that really seems to be alive on a Saturday, with the atmosphere built around the markets. We loved the dog sitting facility at the front of the market where you can leave your dog for a donation. We don’t have a dog but loved giving all the ones a rub. Then to wonder around and have some delicious food, we tried the croque monsieur, crepes, fresh oysters (heaven), coffee, and bought some cheese from Puhoi Valley Cheese Co. too. It is well priced for fruit and vegies, and the cheeses we purchased were great value, and to try a variety of food is a great option for groups.
