Christmas Farmers’ Market
Grey Lynn Farmers’s Market ends the year with a special festive Christmas Market
This Saturday, 18th December from 1.30pm to 5pm.
A local shopping opportunity to purchase Christmas treats and gifts from our fantastic range of local food produce, including baked goods, exquisite olive oils, cheese, delicious smoked fish, a wide selection of fresh vegetables and herbs, jams and pickles, and sweet delights all with a local high quality flavour.
The Market’s regular stallholders will be joined by West Lynn Organic Butcher who will run a BBQ on site, Kokako and local delicatessen RIPE, Phoenix Gluten Free produce, and we have a stall for local Kawakawa oils and balms that would make a great Christmas gift.
Adding to the festive atmosphere there will be a live radio broadcast, a 3pm storytime with Mother Christmas for little ones, and live entertainment.
So be sure to come along and join in our great community vibe and Christmas cheer. This is the last market for 2010, the market returns on Sunday January 16th 2011 (and will continue on every Sunday except for the last of the month).
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone who has supported us over the last year, we look forward to seeing you this Saturday and throughout next year.
