This month the Tauranga Farmers' Market is having its 14th birthday, and to celebrate they have six birthday hampers full of fresh produce from stallholders up for grabs.

Tickets to be in the draw to win the hampers are $2 each and will be sold at the market throughout the month. The recipients of the proceeds are BooBOPs – the region's breast cancer survivors' dragon boat team.

'Being at the Farmers' Market is a great opportunity to promote what we do,” says BooBOP's captain Julie Sach.

'We'll be using the money raised to travel to Florence, Italy, in July 2018 to compete at the world breast cancer survivor's dragon boat regatta – called The IBCPC Dragon Boat Festival – so it's a really exciting prospect.

The BooBOPs has a stall at the Tauranga Farmers' Market each Saturday until the end of the month, where they'll sell tickets and raise awareness for their cause.

The birthday hamper will be drawn on Saturday, May 27. There will be eight draws – six for the public and two for stallholders. The first three draws will be at 9am for early-morning shoppers, and the final three draws and presentation are at 10.15am.

Due to the fresh nature of the produce in the market jute bags, tickets must be present at the draw to win, but not necessarily the owner of the ticket.
