5 months agoRuns on a Sunday from 8:30 to 12:30. We went on a very hot and calm early autumn day. You can get crafts, food, vegetables, fruit, and garden plants. All of excellent quality. Probably one of the best, if not *the best*, of the farmer's markets around the country. Most vendors have eftpos, but it's wise to have cash. Dogs allowed, on a leash of course.

a month agoHAWKE'S BAY FARMERS' MARKET // Hastings 🍓 One of my absolute favourite Sunday rituals when I’m in Hawke’s Bay. I’m not a local but every time I visit Hastings, this is the one place I make sure to return to. Incredible local produce, artisan goods and a real sense of community. My go-to? The bacon & egg sandwich, unmatched! Fresh juices, handcrafted breads, and stalls bursting with everything from seasonal fruit to handmade treats. It’s a beautiful market to wander with whānau, with live music playing and plenty of picnic spots to sit, snack and soak it all in. A must-do for anyone visiting the region.

5 months agoReally nice place to go. Heaps of different sellers, lots of really nice food and drink. There were a few moderately long queues for coffee and bacon butties, but they were pretty quick. Prices were OK. Plenty of seating, a good amount of it in the shade. LOTS of people, but plenty of room, plenty of parking.
