This is a great farmers market in Hamilton on Sunday mornings. It's located toward the back of the…read moreClaudelands Arena area. There are a lot of things I love about this place. There is a playground within walking distance, so I can do some browsing an shopping while my husband takes the kids for a run. There are some coffee stands at the market, so you can show up bright and early at 8:00, pick-up a coffee and get to shopping. Some stalls only take cash, so it helps to brings some. But if you've forgotten, there is an EFTPOS cash-out area where you can get some. Many vendors to accept EFTPOS anyway (but I haven't seen any that take credit cards yet). If you haven't had breakfast, you can pick-up some pastries or other morning goodies, a smoothie or some blueberry ice cream (I'm sure it is a healthy breakfast option). In addition to produce, there are also vendors selling cakes/pastries, fresh/smoked fish, pies, and a handful of craft vendors. There are often two musical acts playing (one inside the barn and one outside). So far, my favorite vendor is Soggy Bottom meats. Absolutely hands down some of the best sausages I've ever had. They also have mince, burgers, pies and often, a long line because everyone knows about this local gem. So, bring your reusable grocery bag and head on down!

This countdown is really large, it feels expansive when you walk in because they allow you to…read moreaccess wherever you want without having to wind your way through all the fruit and veges first. Nice one Countdown. Their Halloween stand was decent, sweets and props and easy to find. The meat section I don't like the way it's set out but they do have a lot of free range though not much if any organic meat products. The carpark always seems congested here. Even though there are spare carparks, the flow isn't right.

Was told the shelf was full of them that the girl had just seen the selves full. So head over to get some and what do you know. Same empty shelves as yesterday. The girl lied, knowing I was coming from out of town and that there were none yesterday when I was there. Pretty disappointing really.

Not as much range as Auckland stores particularly in the meat department. But I'm impressed with their dedicated gluten free stand near the eggs. Plenty of parking and wide aisles to load your carts up in.

Break the piggy bank before you come here. They stock all things natural, organic and local with a…read morefew imported items. I came looking for a natural tooth paste. They had a small selection from $6.30 to $22.80. I may be all about organic and natural, but I'm no fool - you can keep that $22.80 all to ya self! The staff is well versed in the products they stock, which meant the cashier was helpful when I asked her to recommend a product. Turns out she was familiar with Toms of Main. I wanted something comparable, so she helped me make an informed decision. I was also pleased to see they carry Dr. Bronners soap. If you don't know about Dr. B's magic soap, get some and have your world rocked! Aside from toiletries, they also stock locally grown produce and dairy. Dry goods such as lentils, rice, pasta, teas and coffee are also readily available. Overall a friendly store. Most of the natural or local organic items you may be seeking can be found here.
