This hive of Sunday morning activity sees locals buzzing around stalls laden with fruit and vegetables, bibs and bobs, plants and flowers and prepared foods.  Make a day of it – dining at a nearby café and heading down to the beach or along the 2 hour Takapuna to Milford Heritage Walk which passes through a fossilized forrest.

European-style market selling farmer’s marked food products including bread, cheese, homemade scones, tortes, pasta, bagels, eggs and the best fresh coffee in Auckland plus quality art and craft products at affordable prices.  If you want something unique and beautiful for you, your children or you home come down to the market for a browse and enjoy the atmosphere.

Browse and taste the interesting and delicious items, from fresh vegetables to chocolates and even natural health products at the Albany Farmer’s Market. 

This is an authentic country market.  Stalls include Kaipara fresh produce, vintage clothing, second hand tools, classic music on vinyl, home baked bread, natural remedies, native and exotic plants, pet supplies and handcrafts.  Plus there are pony rides for the kids.
