Otago
Situated in the car park of the historic Dunedin Railway Station, the Otago Farmers Market offers the freshest and best of Otago’s wonderful fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, cheese, eggs, wine and many other products including delicious, healthy foods. Up to 75 vendors are present every Saturday morning from 8am to 1pm with all vendors passionate about the product they have grown, raised, made and prepared. Since the market began in March 2003 it has grown to become a weekly event on Dunedinite’s calendars. Features of the market include Havoc Pork (who travel in every weekend from Waimate), Who Ate All The Pies, Organicland (organic beef, veal and lamb), The Gourmet Ice Cream Company (with their famous ‘Speight’s Old Dark Ice Cream), Evansdale Cheese, Indigo Bakeries, Basecamp (Wild Salami), Blue Water Products (fresh fish) and the Otago organic Group (organic herbs and vegetables). The Otago Farmers Market Trust has a policy where they “have plenty of everything but not too much of anything”.
