With the weather forecast to be a bit inclement we'll be under the verandahs opposite Memorial Square this Sunday from 9.00am until 12.30pm.
For Seed Sowing Sunday you get to choose from a varied selection of veges, flowers and herbs - and get some guidance from a member of the team on how to germinate, tend and harvest your plants. This event is open to all - a gold coin donation gets you a tray, compost, seeds, and some helpful advice. Kids free. And for those of you that have room in your garden we have a limited number of free tomato plants to give away, donated from Helen Dew’s Garden for Life.
And while you are here you can try some of Rumya Pathmanathan's fresh and local baking - new to Carterton Farmers Market. Get your treat fix without any refined sugar, gluten or dairy. Cookies, breakfast biscuits and raw baking will be available. Come along and give them a try.
NZTA is going to be at the market, happy to chat to the community and get feedback on SH2 Masterton to Carterton safety improvements project. So if you some ideas on how to improve this problematic stretch of highway pop along and have your say.
Local Growers have their seasonal spray-free produce again this week. This includes avocados, limes, lemons, bay leaves, beetroot, bok choy, broadbeans, broccoli, cucumber, daikon, hazelnuts, kohlrabi, lambs quarters, lettuce, mizuna, new season potatoes,NZ spinach, pumpkin, radishes, rhubarb, silverbeet, zucchini, and free-range eggs.
Just Swimwear (aka Kids Kapers) will be here selling children and tots swimwear, as well as a variety of SPF clothing.
Elizabeth Hayes will be back selling her hand-made scented soy candles. Ideal as a gift, to burn in your own home, or with their long burning qualities, to tuck one or two in your civil defence kit.
Other stalls at the market this week include:
Adrianne's Crafts

We’re selling our Dewalt DW703-XE 10” mitre saw as I’ve just upgraded to a larger, sliding type. Just changed the price... or make me an offer!

The saw is about 10 years old and has only been used for light projects around the house... nothing too industrial. It’s still in perfect working order and I wouldn’t be getting rid of it unless unneeded a sliding model. I’ve also recently bought two new dewalt blades (40tooth and 60tooth) which alone are worth $100+
Pick up from just outside Martinborough; weekends or after 6:30 during the week is preferred.
Thanks!

It provides a welcome break and peace of mind knowing that your loved one will receive round-the-clock care from friendly, experienced care teams.
May Kitchen knows how important it is to provide carers with a break. After visiting her husband Stuart in respite care at a Ryman village, she was tempted to move in herself! “If it was me, I think I would enjoy it because it’s just so beautiful and the food is good.”
Ryman villages provide warm and welcoming communities. Where residents can enjoy activities and outings while forming friendships along the way.
