What is a Farmers' Market
A farmers’ market is a food market where local growers, farmers and artisan food producers sell their wares directly to consumers. Vendors may only sell what they grow, farm, pickle, preserve, bake, smoke or catch themselves from within a defined local area. The market takes place at a public location on a regular basis.
The aims of the Farmers' Market New Zealand Association are
- To facilitate the formation of a network of authentic Farmers’ Markets throughout New Zealand
- To clearly define the concept of an authentic Farmers’ Market and facilitate the development of this model in the cities and provinces of New Zealand.
- To support the viable and self-sufficient operation of existing and future Farmers’ Markets by sharing information and providing appropriate resources.
- To protect brand “Farmers’ Market”, clearly distinguishing the concept of a Farmers’ Market from other markets, both retail and wholesale
- To advocate on behalf of members at a national level.
