Hi there
Well, that’s my Christmas presents ordered & sorted! I’ve been working with South Island artist Lisa Babcock over several months earlier this year when we commissioned her to create a map of our Market vendors, as I’d wanted to visualize where they all came from around the Otago & greater region. The result is a gorgeous hand painted, water colour illustration & celebration of the Otago Farmers Market folk & what they produce. The local Print Room have printed 100% Indian cotton tea towels, greeting cards & our local lady Jane Hesson from Cover Up Honey Wraps, has done a wonderful job of making super-sized beeswax wraps from them (they smell divine believe me - she uses beeswax from Market vendor Bennies Honey in Ranfurly). Call by the Market caravan at the entrance this weekend to have a closer peek. Buying absolutely local for Christmas makes more sense than ever, we have done all the hard work & ordering for you & they come as a pre/un-packaged gift with no plastic of course!
There should be plenty of fresh oyster mushrooms at the Market on Saturday with both Ben at Brightside Gourmet Produce & Microgreens & Michelle from Coastal Kaps there this Saturday on the platform. Was good to see The Porridge Bar & Jia He back at the Market last week - porridge & dumplings were perfect for a wet old Saturday, thanks for all who braved the elements. Weather looking better & drier this Saturday! Our gardens are planting-ready now after all this rain last week so get along & grab yourself great valued hardy Otago grown plants, heaps of options of vegies, flowers, succulents, house plants & heritage - check out Youthgrow, Matheson & Roberts, Terracotta Plants, Kakanui Produce & Waikouaiti Gardens.
The same protocols are in place this week, mask wearing (unless you have an exemption or for children), scanning in & keeping the 2mt distancing. Please use the MAIN MIDDLE GATE on Anzac Ave & depart from there as well (all other gates are blocked off). If you are parking in the north carpark, please walk around to the main front gate, this is so we can track numbers. There should be an easy flow in again this week. We ask if you could please take coffee & food off site to eat from our many ready to eat vendors.
We look forward to seeing you all this weekend. Bring your cash, bags, keep cup or mug, containers, mask & charged phone for scanning.
Shop your way around Otago this weekend…. at the Market!

La Crepe Market Specials
|
|
Today I’ll share the story behind the 4WD in the specials.* This type of vehicle is usually more secure and can go almost everywhere. I have discovered that peanut butter is one of the four pillar staples of New Zealand cuisine, it brings comfort and feels secure too! Combined with our butterscotch it will uplift any situation to a new level, guaranteed!
Did you know, we sell paquets (packets of) our 5 plain fresh crepes? And our homemade sauces of butterscotch, lemon curd, and chocolate -200mls. Thanks Michele for reminding me to tell people.
Wishing you all a great weekend. Christophe
*YAY! Michele & I have been wondering what the meaning was behind the 4WD for months! -Kristina

YES! We did it again! Gold Medal announced last Saturday at the NZ Olives national awards. We didn’t go up this year but it’s a special night celebrating the whole industry.

Free Delivery for orders of $25 minimum. Email chocolatchaud009@hotmail.com or text 0225228599.
Recycling jars and lids are a part of my everyday business. It demands a lot of time and dedication all along the process: 1. Collecting jars and lids – customers bring me back jars and lids, and sometimes even more! But from time to time, I don’t have enough, so I need to collect them from the blue bins on recycling day. 2. Sorting jars and lids by their size and storing them which demand a lot of space. 3. Sterilising them and storing them again. 4. Filling them with my products. Thanks again to all the people who bring me back jars and lids, without your support, I will not be able to sustain my business with recycling. See you at the market. Marie

Community Stall - King's High School Junior Volleyball Tournament 2021
|
|
Kings High School Junior Volleyball team is holding a raffle for a trailer of firewood this week at the market, to send the team off to a Tournament in Nelson.
"Our top junior athletes are currently training for the South Island Championship being held in Nelson this year at the end of November. We are taking 24 athletes (two teams) to this event and the boys have been training from 7am until 8:30am every Tuesday morning through the winter (Terms 2 and 3). We have the goal of winning the Junior South Island tournament this year in Nelson and then again next year in Dunedin. We believe with the talent in the school that this is both realistic and attainable (but far from guaranteed).
The boys have been working hard to raise the money needed for such an endeavour and we continue to make progress towards making the trip FREE for all athletes (The cost is $700 per player). Our teams involve a very diverse group of young men who represent their many cultures, and school, with pride. We also pride ourselves on being well presented both on and off the court. Carrying on the fine reputation of King's High School on the court and in the community is always what we strive for."
