Hobsonville Point Sunday Markets

Tucked away behind the Catalina Cafe at Hobsonville is the local farmers markets. With the new motorway having been opened, it's actually very close to the major on and off-ramps for the area, in a lovely setting.

Inside a large Shed, there are a wide variety of fantastic goods for sale. All organic, home-made type things but in a mass produced style.

My current favourites are the pumpkin seed bread - purely awesome toasted with soup. The Fig and ginger Jam - have it with crackers and double cream brie... to die for!

The selection of cheeses, pastries and fresh herbs are wonderful. They also have cooking diplays using all the produce from the markets, live music, a juice bar, a coffee corner.. and so forth.

The week I took this pictures Lyn Walters was playing her music, and her dulcet tones made the market have a fantastic mood.

The most awesome thing? Taste testing! Yummmmm!

It's not a very big market, but it is ever so tasty and a really enjoyable way to spend a Sunday morning.
