After five years of bringing you the Marlborough Farmers’ Market newsletter, it’s time for me to pass the pen. In 2018, on this very day, I penned my first piece, casting a spotlight on our incredible stallholders and their nourishing offerings, each edition designed to kindle your taste buds. Through 245 newsletters, countless social media entries and press releases I’ve savoured the task to keep you informed and engaged. Thrilled to have been part of the market's lively tapestry, witnessing the growth and success of many start-up business, I now hand the newsletter to the Market Manager. It has been a pleasure to contribute to the vibrancy of the market, and to connect with our awesome stallholders and you over this time. Here's to the continued success of the Marlborough Farmers' Market! Stay curious, stay inspired, and keep relishing the abundance of goodness our market brings you each week. You will still find me with my spray-free greens at the Community Stall, so I am not going far. I and our stallholders l forward to seeing you Sunday! Sigrun Steinhagen, Marketing and Promotions Manager

Sundays stand for Fresh, Local, and Satisfying! Meet Anthony, one of our local market-goer! On Sundays’ he gets a bag of crisp juicy tree-ripened apples for work, and some for his wife, for her delightful baking, and some refreshing apple juice.

With the beginning of the Māori New Year, and the first NZ public Matariki holiday, we honour the past, present and future. Celebrating the cycle of life, we welcome new stall holder Mamma Lou. A time to reflect, we are also grateful to our community. A special thank you goes to Neighbourhood Support, because...

Half way through the year we are. Last Sunday we had a wee shuffle around to keep your feet dry, meeting in the sheep pens. Whether we will be inside or out this Sunday will yet to be seen. It will be what’s best for the ground and for us humans, stallholders and customers alike.

ARE YOUR BOOTS MADE FOR WALKING Then come and walk around our market

It’s a great start to June with the Monarch's birthday long weekend. Sadly, it’s also the last Sunday for the Gourmet Deli. But fret not. They will be back in October. By popular request, Margaret will make lots of carrot cakes for her last day. Great occasion to buy the cookbook for cooking inspiration.

Last Week

Brisket Sandwich, courgettes and brownie cookies on the menu. Not advised to consume all at once!

Fine weather, coffee & Anzac biscuits forecast for Sunday

Open Easter Sunday

Special Edition - Long Weekend Ahead – Ideal Garden Time This Sunday we place a special focus on your garden with additional garden themed stalls. With the cooler temperatures, it’s a reminder to get the winter veggie garden established before it’s too late. The long weekend ahead will be an ideal time to get the garden ready for winter and spring supplies. From garden knowledge to garden plants, manure, and tools, check out the additional offerings with a hot brew in hand. And don’t forget to turn your clocks back for an extra hour of daylight in the mornings with Daylight Savings.

We LOVE, LOVE this review "I recently visited the Farmers’ Market and had a great experience. The produce was fresh and of excellent quality. The prices were very reasonable and I was able to get a huge variety of fruits and vegetables. The vendors were friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this market to anyone looking for fresh and reasonably priced produce." Thank you for the great support that we are receiving from our community. Bring your friends along to listen to busker Chris Smithers with his keyboard, playing tunes from the 70s and 80s and enjoy a yummy brunch option.

Celebrating Farmers’ Markets It’s National Farmers’ Market week from 11 to 19 March - a chance to ask where our food comes from and to start a conversation about the role of Farmers’ Markets in our community. Recent national and international events have highlighted the importance of having a strong regional food supply and this is the role that Farmers’ Markets play. Your farmers’ market brings you a selection of fresh local food direct to you from the growers and producers. This cuts down on food miles, ensuring what you are eating is fresh and therefore higher in nutrient value and provides an ongoing supply in the face of global and national events. We know that we are speaking to the converted, so please help us spread the word that Farmers’ Markets are important in our food supply chain and bring quality affordable food direct to you.

Don’t miss this week’s buskers. Father and son duo Rob and Leo will be playing Blues, Originals, 60s Pop, Tin pan, and even Didgereedoo. Drop by for a coffee and a chat to these two musos between sets. Their last appearance was prior to Covid, and we are super stoked to have them back.

Lucky Sunday’s forecast is for dry skies. Perfect for whiling away a Sunday morning at the A&P showgrounds, reminiscing the previous day at the Wine and Food Festival. Hot tip for the week: There’s a strawberry special on the menu (Frut4U), tree ripened apples and pears, as well as organic plums (Windsong Orchard) and lots of courgettes. The hot weather is bringing on the chillies too. Below a courgette recipe that makes a great lunch or picnic dish.

We’re in for 26 degrees on Sunday. The forecast is for eggs sunny side up. If you can’t find them elsewhere, get yours from the Farmers’ Market. There will be plenty of bacon from Long Acre farm to go with it. Georgina from Koromiko Free Range eggs recommends bacon and egg pie - delicious, irresistible, and a Kiwi favourite. We’ve got a recipe link for you at the bottom of this newsletter.

The forecast is for sunshine and Mexican cuisine. This Sunday treat yourself to authentic Mexican flavours as we welcome Cachito to our food truck family.
