If you’ve been missing the farmers market, this week has you covered.
Back for its 6th annual event, National Farmers Markets Week is kicking off this Saturday.
There are approximately 25 farmers markets across the country, making up over a thousand small food businesses with an estimated 50,000 customers supporting them each week.
Jono Walker, Chair of Famers Markets NZ, told Mike Hosking that farmers markets are more than just a place to do your weekly shop, it’s a community hub.
He said that the number of farmers markets is currently fairly stable, but they’d love to see more cropping up.
For that, Walker said, they need a lot more people growing, particularly vegetables.
