Tasting Real New Zealand flavour at Farmers' Markets

Chefs Julie Biuso and Hester Guy tasted and tested the very best of NZ Farmers Markets showcasing local innovation and regional tastes that we are developing right here in our own backyards. Judge Hester Guy says "We found less reliance on preservatives in the bottles and more emphasis in the integrity of ingredients. The raw product is the hero and the quality and flavours of these products is paramount". Chairperson of FMNZ - Chris Fortune commented that "the attention to quality and freshness is what makes the difference and you can find that in bucket loads at Farmers' Markets nationwide on a weekly basis"
