From fresh fruit and vegetables to garden goods, gifts, coffee and breakfast, the Clutha Boot Market is thriving and organisers are looking to expand its range and setting.
"We’ve started conversations with council, TPŌMA [Te Pou Ō Mata-Au] and interested businesses to help us through the right procedures and requirements and hopefully bring a full farmer’s market to Balclutha every weekend," volunteer organiser Brodie Dodds said at the fortnightly Clyde St event last Saturday.
"It’s about making our quality, local goods more easily available to the community ... supporting local producers, building networks and creating opportunities for budding entrepreneurs.
"The market’s a fixture with reliable stallholders and customers and it feels like it’s time to cater for even more variety in a larger space."
Clutha Boot Market will now be running every Saturday at its present location. Clutha Leader reporter Nick Brook was there to capture the colour of the market.
