Tauranga Farmer's Market, Tauranga

The Tauranga Farmers' Market has become a weekend institution since its establishment in the early 2000s, offering an inviting blend of fresh, seasonal produce and artisanal goods from the Bay of Plenty region.

Everything from orchard‑fresh fruit and free‑range dairy to handcrafted breads, natural care products, and even seafood reflects the commitment to “shop local, support local”. Visitors can explore stalls organized by category-from “From the Kitchen” offerings and coffee to “Vege Patch,” “From the Sea,” and “Natural Care”-making it easy to find what appeals most.

More than a shopping destination, the market thrives on atmosphere. Live music, ready‑to‑eat foods like crepes and hot meals, and a friendly, community‑oriented vibe make it as much a social event as a place to buy produce.

For tourists, the market is a perfect introduction to the region’s bounty. You’ll find everything from crisp vegetables and baked delights to specialty items like macadamia liqueur, local cheeses, fresh olive oils, and cider.
