Often new ventures take a while to take off, but that certainly wasn’t the case with the new Smales Farm Market that made its debut on Sunday February 9th. My wife and I – and our two pooches – were part of a huge crowd of close to 8,000 people who enjoyed the February market.

The market delivers fresh, organic and sustainable goods and produce from Auckland’s leading artisans. It is delivered by the expert team at Market Collaborative, creators of the Coatesville market and Auckland Plant Market.
As we have covered in Channel Magazine over the past 15 months, Smales Farm has evolved to become a hive of activity with the introduction of its leafy and relaxed dining hub, Goodside, alongside the variety of commerce and activity on the site, including the innovative and award-winning B:HIVE co-working space building. It's Goodside that has  become the venue for this Sunday market.
“Obviously our residents are a massive focus for us, but so is the wider Auckland community,” explained Smales Farm Marketing Manager Mark Kelly when announcing that the market would become a permanent fixture on the second Sunday of every month. “This is why we’re really excited to add a market to the Smales Farm experience alongside our outdoor movies, STELLAR our interactive light festival, the Sunsetter Food and Wine Festival and Goodside, Auckland’s most exciting dining destination.”
The next Smales Farm Market market is locked in for Sunday 8th March. With plenty of onsite parking and easy access to public transport, the Smales Farm Market is the perfect way to spend a Sunday.
