Why Visit Farmers' Markets in Otago?

Farmers' markets have become a beloved tradition throughout New Zealand, offering a vibrant alternative to supermarket shopping. The Oamaru Farmers' Market continues this tradition in one of the country's most charming historic settings.

When you shop at our farmers' market, you're supporting local growers and producers while enjoying several benefits:

• Freshness guaranteed: Produce is typically harvested within 24 hours of the market, ensuring maximum flavour and nutritional value.
• Meet the makers: Talk directly with the people who grow and produce your food. Learn about their farming practices, get cooking tips, and hear the stories behind their products.
• Seasonal eating: Discover the natural rhythm of Otago's growing seasons and enjoy produce at its peak of flavour.
• Environmental benefits: Most products travel minimal distances to reach the market, reducing carbon footprints compared to commercially distributed foods.
• Community connection: The market creates a social hub where locals and visitors alike can gather, connect and support the local economy.

Located in Oamaru's Victorian Precinct, the market adds another compelling reason to visit this historic area. After browsing the stalls, take time to explore the beautifully preserved limestone buildings, artisan shops, and the famous Steampunk HQ nearby.

The market operates year-round, with each season bringing its own special harvest. Spring showcases tender greens and early vegetables, summer brings an abundance of berries and stone fruits, autumn offers apples, pears and root vegetables, while winter highlights hearty crops and preserved goods.

Whether you're a local resident stocking your pantry with weekly essentials or a visitor wanting to taste the authentic flavours of North Otago, the Oamaru Farmers' Market offers a genuine paddock-to-plate experience in one of New Zealand's most charming historic settings.
