Brewtown Market Not Rated Among Best

Michael from Trentham

If size and cover were factors, Brewtown's Farmer's Market would be ranked number one in the country. And this also takes into account train station and on-site vehicle parking convenience.

But the Upper Hutt version of a Farmer's Market couldn't make the top seven in NZ according to a recent Stuff item on the best Farmer's Markets in NZ.

The Brewtown complex has two huge covered areas sited parallel with each other for its market - one for produce and the other for everything else that one would likely see at a fair. Rain and wind are not prohibiting factors as they would be for each of the top seven named.

So it is a farmer's market with a twist. Only live music entertainment are a missing item to date.

Most of the produce comes from the Wairarapa and Horowhenua which are the food bowls of the Wellington region and marks the food as locally farmed.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
