Farmers Market/Talk

John joins the market having been a long-time customer and advocate of the "Eat Fresh & Local" ethos, who enjoy the atmosphere and would love to see the market expand and grow. Welcome John!

These include:

• Fresh pasta and sauces
  

• Seasonal fruit & Berryfruits
  

• Fruit and vege juices
  

• Mushrooms
  

• Eggs
  

• Honey
  

• Artisan goods
  

• Gourmet food
  

• Cut flowers

If you'd like to discuss any of these possibilities, just contact John (via email: waifarmersmarket@gmail.com) or call him. We'd love to talk to you about it!

Did you see "The Kitchen Job" episode on TV3 last Tuesday evening (Jan 6th) - it featured one of the market stallholders and their restaurant (the Market was visited by a TV crew, filming local produce and their producers for the new series earlier in 2008)? Check it out online if not.

Any stall-holder not represented on our Wairarapa Wiki - just email your business name, promotional text, image and contact details to usabilitynz@gmail.co.nz with "Wairarapa Wiki" in the subject line, and I will set you up. After that you simply maintain your own page. This is a free service.

2007-12-13 07:57:44   Bought my first Monkey Point India Pale Ale (aged in oak) from Peak Brewery last Saturday. I absolutely love it - it's beautiful. The oak aging has certainly added some interesting complexities to this new addition to the Peak Brewery range. It's so new, the bottles are still waiting for their labels. —TomvanBodgraven
