Does my stall fit with Marlborough Farmers Market?
The Marlborough Farmers’ Market is a producer-focused market that exists to connect customers directly with the people who grow, catch, rear, harvest, make, bake, or create their products.
We are looking for stallholders who:
- Produce their goods within the wider Top of the South region.
- Are passionate about quality, local food and products.
- Are willing to engage with customers and share the story behind their products.
- Attend regularly and contribute to a vibrant market atmosphere.
- Work cooperatively with fellow stallholders, the Market Manager, volunteers, and committee members.
- Value community, integrity, and supporting local producers.
The Market is not a retail market. We generally do not accept resellers or products that are readily available through conventional wholesale channels.
Our goal is to create a welcoming, authentic market that showcases the best of our region while supporting local producers and providing an enjoyable experience for customers.
If this sounds like your business and your values, we encourage you to apply.
Local. Genuine. Producer-led. Community-focused.
