Gisborne Farmers' Market is a Saturday market on Stout Street in Whataupoko, Gisborne, where local food growers sell their produce and goods directly to the public. It has run for more than 20 years and is affiliated with New Zealand Farmers Market Inc. The market says knowing where food comes from is part of being a sustainable citizen, and that food miles and growing methods matter to shoppers. Live performers play each week, mostly local talent, and the market asks people to book well in advance through the Market Manager.
Many stallholders take EFTPOS, and there is an EFTPOS cash-out at the Information and EFTPOS stall in the centre of the market. Reusable bags, keep cups and produce bags are sold there too, and lost property is held at that stall. Dogs are not permitted. The website says parking outside the main entrance is limited, and it suggests the Marina car park behind the council building, then a short walk through the rose garden. Parking is also available along Ormond Road and further along Stout Street.
