The Nelson Farmers Market is on every Wednesday, rain or shine, all year round at Fashion Island. The Nelson market is designated "certified" which means that produce is grown or produced by the farmer presenting it for sale and that it was grown locally. This assures fresh, high quality produce is brought to the consumer at a reasonable price.
