Farmers' Markets
LOCAL food sold by the producers direct to customers

Farmers' Markets are a great platform for producers to sell their goods directly to customers, offering an alternative to international supermarket chains.

FMNZ is a volunteer association that offers support to new and established Farmers' Markets throughout New Zealand. Member markets benefit from mutual support, networking, national promotions, advertising and advocacy at a national level.

WHAT IS A FARMERS' MARKET?

Although the term "Farmers' Market" implicates that farmers sell their own produce at the market, it gets often used by markets that resale produce.  

How can "real" Farmers' Markets distinguish themselves​ from other markets?

​FMNZ offers optional authenticity certificates to member markets where vendors sell their own locally produced food.

3 GOLDEN RULES:

1. Primarily food is sold (no arts, craft, bric-a-brac) with exceptions for plants and flowers

2. Food is produced within a defined local area (e.g. 2hr drive or 100km radius from the market)

3. Vendors must be directly involved in the growing or production process of the food (no on-selling)
