The Nelson Farmers' Market is a weekly farmers' market at 23 Halifax Street, beside the Elma Turner Library in Nelson. It runs every Wednesday, rain or shine, from 8am to 1pm, and it specialises in locally grown seasonal fruit and vegetables, artisan food and food stalls. The site says all stallholders come from the region, and that the vendors must be the producers, or directly involved in producing what they sell.
The market says its produce is fresh and nutrient-dense, and that it is priced fairly. The information stall, staffed on Wednesdays, can help with questions on the day. Stallholder applications are reviewed at a monthly committee meeting, and stalls cost $35 per week for permanent stalls or $40 for seasonal stalls, with an annual membership fee of $25. Market stalls cost $35 per week as at 2026.
