FARMERS MARKET TURNS 10
One of New Zealand's original and biggest Farmers' Markets
is turning 10 years old with a day of celebrations planned
on November 14th 2010.
The Hawke's Bay Farmers' Market was established in 2000
with a view to incubate, profile and assist the growth
of small food businesses in the region by creating a
single destination were local growers and producers
meet with customers.
Ten years later the Hastings market boasts more than
50 stallholders year round and up to 15 seasonal, drawing
crowds every Sunday to the Hawkes Bay A&P Showgrounds.
People see, touch, smell, taste and buy fresh quality
produce and genuine artisan products directly from the
producer.
On Sunday 14th November 2010 the Hastings market will
be celebrating the past 10 years, thanking customers
for their support and acknowledging stallholders with
a day of, giveaways, spot prizes, live music and children's
entertainment and stallholder specials.
Come and enjoy the atmosphere and help celebrate ten
years of Hawke's Bay growers and producers. (See link

Introduction
Orcona Chillis 'N Peppers
are located in the fertile Hawkes Bay region on the eastern
side of the North Island of New Zealand, roughly equi-distant
between the cities of Napier and Hastings.
This region is known as the
"food bowl of New Zealand", and is home to the the
largest food processing plant in Southeast Asia, the giant Wattie
Heinz process facility. There are around thirty wineries in
the region, plus specialty growers producing a wide range of
specialty foods, from mushrooms, to gourmet vegetables and an
astounding variety of fruits, not to mention superb olive groves.
From this background of proud food production come a range of
Chillis and Chilli based products unequaled in New Zealand.
The development of these specialty products over the past 5
years has seen the Orcona brand sought out by Chilli lovers
both in New Zealand and Internationally, who recognise the products
as being of the highest possible standard.
Orcona Chilli's 'N Peppers are the only New Zealand producers
of Smoked
Paprika Flakes, and they also make a wide range of hot sauces
and relishes, as well as providing fresh and dried chilli fruit.
