A baking competition judged by celebrity Kiwi chef Michael van de Elzen and 25 stallholders will feature at Sunday's inaugural Rotorua Farmers Market in the City Focus.
The distinctive wooden barrows from which stallholders will operate were specially made to create a unique atmosphere and were sponsored by locally owned and operated family sawmilling company Donelley Sawmillers, in conjunction with Abodo Wood.
The portable covered market barrows were built by Rotorua joiner and craftsman Colin Hayes of Bespoke Joinery.
Donelley Sawmillers managing director Aaron Donelley is enthusiastic about the market.
"We are excited at the prospect of this new inner-city initiative and are delighted to have the opportunity to support it by showcasing our local products and capability."
