Every Saturday 8AM - 1PM

From award-winning coffee, to mouth-watering brunch dishes, there’s plenty to sample and savour. Relax by the riverside to live local music, while the kids explore the rustic treehouse and natural playground.

We’re proud to say the Matakana Market is zero waste – so bring your baskets or bags and stock up on fresh produce, flowers, breads, deli treats and sweets.

Perfect for a gourmet picnic, a special celebration or a weekend at the bach with friends.

The Matakana Village Farmers’ Market was founded on one simple premise: local people, selling locally-produced food.

Founders Christine and Richard Didsbury and permaculture pioneers Joe Polaischer and Trish Allen (formerly of Rainbow Valley Farm), had a vision for a market that would celebrate the natural bounty and creative, entrepreneurial spirit of the Matakana region. A rustic market square on the river’s edge, where locals and visitors would come together to meet, talk and connect across locally-milled macrocarpa counter tops and old wine barrels.

Central to the market philosophy is food provenance: we care about the origins of the food we eat, so at the Matakana Market you know the person selling the produce had a hand in making it too.

Our producers are passionate about what they do and each one can spin a yarn or two. You’ll find down-to-earth country folk working side-by-side with urban escapees and visionary foodies. The Matakana Village Farmers’ Market has already served as an inadvertent incubator to a number of well known gourmet brands – who knows who might be next?

From the beginning, we’ve worked hard to make our market zero-waste and in 2017 our vision became a reality. So bring your friends and a reusable bag or two and savour the magic of the Matakana Village Farmers’ Market.
