Explore the Bay of Islands’ Farmer Market in Kerikeri


New Zealand may be an island paradise but is a beauty unto itself. The cities of the countryside – everything is packed with a punch with snow capped mountains, lush green forests and clear beaches. Apart from exploring the fjords, beaches and a lot more, the country is also famous for its quaint towns.

Full of character and flavour is the small town of Kerikeri, where you can go through the country’s rich history and try fresh and local produce. It is also the country’s oldest town which is now more famous for its fertile fruit growing area and a dynamic arts and crafts industry. It is located in the Bay of Islands and you can get around easily and also explore nearby tourist attractions with a car rental in Kerikeri.

Since the town has one of the oldest establishments in the country, it has an interesting mix of the old and new. You can visit the Mission House which is the oldest wooden structure in the country or the Stone Store – the oldest stone building in New Zealand. Other than these, you can also explore other attractions such as Aroha Island, Rewa’s Village and  Warephuke Falls conveniently with a car rental in Kerikeri.

Kerikeri is also very popular for the Bay of Islands, Farmers Market. Here, you can sample and buy fresh food grown and produced locally. Ever since the Farmers Market started operation in 2004, Kerikeri has remained the talk of the town. Shoppers from other cities flock in throughout the year to fill their baskets with fresh fruits and vegetables. While it’s not just about the fruits and vegetables, those who visit this attraction, can also enjoy live music and interact with the locals over some drinks.
Kerikeri not only offers you art and craft but also culture, entertainment, adventure and music.
