Carterton

Farmers' Market

Carterton Farmers’ Market

A weekly local-produce market held in the centre of town at Memorial Square.ย Carterton Farmers’ Market offers a wonderful hub to the community, not to mention the amazing fresh fruit, veges, honey, crafts and more.

OPENING: The market runs every Sunday in November – May.
Plus the 2nd, 4th and 5th Sundays in June – October.

We open from 9:00am to 12:30pm under the shade of the trees in Memorial Square, Carterton. We move under the veranda on the pavement of SH2 opposite during Winter and poor weather.

Fresh vegetables

Fresh, Local Produce

Our produce goal is simple – locally sourced where possible, reducing carbon-miles, maximising freshness whilst also supporting Wairarapa producers.

Meet up at the Market

Meet Up For A Chat

We originally set up the market as an event – an occasion, a “thing to go to”. Our regulars continue to catch up at the market each Sunday ๐Ÿ™‚

Book A Stall

As of 1st September 2024, the stall charges are set as follows (subject to change):

  • $15 per 3m x 3m space (one off)
  • $10 per 3m x 3m space (3 months advance)
  • Multiples thereof for more stalls
  • Enquire for annual feature markets

Customers

We’re a small but perfectly formed market, selling local produce to regulars & new customers alike. Head down from 9am for fresh veg, honey, crafts & more.

Stallholders
