　　Located in Hastings, the Hawke’s Bay Farmers Market is the ideal place to buy local food and regional specialties in the Hawke’s Bay area.

The market is especially known for its homemade goods, featuring a variety of flavors that make you want to try them all, such as homemade chili sauce, olive tapenade, assorted pickles, chutneys, condiments, muesli, and more. Additionally, there are freshly picked vegetables from the fields each morning.
