Since 2009.

One of the 4 best Farmers Markets in NZ & Historically voted one of the top 4 best Markets in the South Island!

This is how we do it, and this is how you find us.

We operate all seasons of the year every Friday 9 - 12.30

Summer set up is in the lovely Ohoka Domain from October to end of April

Winter set up is in the cosy Ohoka Domain carpark in May to end of September

LOCATION: Ohoka Domain: Corner of Mill and Whites Rd, Ohoka, North Canterbury

15 mins north of Christchurch. less than 10 mins from Kaiapoi and Rangiora

Heading north from Christchurch, take the first Tram Rd exit left off the northern motorway (this is the first exit).

Continue down Tram Road and turn right into Jacksons Road then left into Mill Road (look for the market sign  on the corner of Jacksons Road) or 

PARKKING: In winter parking is best in the adjacent Hall carpark or along Whites Road and Mill Roads. Please take care when parking along verges and be considerate when parking outside neighbouring properties.

During summer parking is in the domain carpark off Mill Road or adjacent in the Hall carpark or like winter along the roadsides of Mill and Whites Roads.

Special parking for those who need it is available as drop off only during summer in the shingle car park in the domain or parking by the Gatehouse off Whites Road in the domain.

During the hours of the market - NO CUSTOMER VISITOR PARKING OR VEHICLES ARE PERMITTED IN THE GRASSED AREA OF OHOKA DOMAIN ITSELF - THIS IS ALLOCATED FOR STALLHOLDERS ONLY.  

The market is popular so you could expect a bit of country walk if you arrive mid market. 

Hours of operation:

Early bird shoppers - 8.30am. Peak time 11am.

Every Friday until 12:30

All weather, all seasons of the year.

Dogs: If everyone with a dog is responsible then there is not a problem. But technically you should always have your dog on a leash and keep your dog away from stalls with food and be mindful of small children and customers who are not into dogs and ensure your dog does not disgrace itself or you in the market. There are ample places to tie your dog up outside the market area. No horses please.

Ohoka Domain is fantastic!

Flying fox for kids and big kids too, restored Gate House and with local helping hands regenerating native bush. A great place to picnic.
