After some online discussion the hours at the Friday Farmers Market at the Whakamarama Hall have been extended. The market will now run from 4pm to 7pm.

I love these beautifully painted signs by Billy Roy aka Billy mushroom. Billy told me they took a significant amount of time to create.

And take a look at the article I wrote about the beautiful organic vegetables and the patterns of texture and colour created by the rows and the plants themselves. Abundant Backyard are artisan growers of fresh picked produce. If you keep an eye out on The Corner Shop NZ facebook page we try to have a weekly promo for that Friday’s market.
