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.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
