Third Sunday of the Month: Used to be Ruakaka Community Markets, but has moved to the marquee at Marsden Cove. This is a community venture – the stall fee is $10.00 with all fees going back into the community.

Whangarei Farmers Market
6.30-10.30 every Saturday morning The Growers Market offers a vast range of produce throughout the year with customers guaranteed that the produce is grown and processed by stallholders.
The market was started in 1998 by two growers who saw a need to foster and save small and medium size growers while offering consumers an alternative to mass produced goods. It was the first growers market in New Zealand and it remains the largest of its kind. Whangarei Farmers Market
