We’ve been taking some time away from socials and the event side of things to focus on our business health (we want Sol Markets to be around for a long time) 🌱

If you follow us on LinkedIn, you’ll know that we were recently accepted into the ‘Accelerate Regional’ programme, hosted by Impact Hub Asia Pacific 🌍

We are now part of a cohort of 5 other impact-driven entrepreneurs alongside our local Impact Hub Waikato, receiving tailored support to scale Sol Markets and make the business itself ‘sustainable’. Stay tuned for our progress over these next few months… 🤫

And that’s a wrap on season one of Sol Markets! 🎉

I can’t believe we’re here already 😳 Around 2 years ago, this idea of a sustainable market came to me in the middle of the night 💡 I actually remember waking up like 5 or 6 times to scribble down notes for it on my phone 😂 Over the next 24 months, the idea melted and morphed and it wasn’t until moving to the Bay of Plenty that Sol Markets as you know it started to form 🌞 After that point, it all started to snowball really quickly 🌱🌍

I made contact with Tauranga Council in June of last year and we launched our first market in November. During those 6 months, there we SO many hours of research and hard work, reaching out to all these different stakeholders and companies, countless back and forth comms with council, and talking to local businesses and stallholders 📝

November rolled around really quickly and before I knew it we were launching - in torrential rain no less! ⛈⚡️From a really crappy weather forecast at our first market to the ever-changing Covid restrictions, our inaugural season has not been without it’s set of challenges and hardships. But we did it (and created something really special in the process) 🙏🏼

There are several important thank you’s to be said, people whom without their support, I never would have been able to do this (it really does take a village). To my older brother Sorel who initially believed in my idea and invested in it - thank you for always challenging me to dream bigger 💭🌍 To my friend Maria, thank you for always being there and helping me out at every single market, without question 💞 Jade, thank you for snapping some amazing pictures and just being an all round epic human 📸 Hannah, thanks for the incredible visuals our Sol Markets audience has come to know and love 🌤 Special mention to Ian for helping me construct our roadside sign - version 2.0 was much more of a success 😂 Lastly, to all my friends and family who have sent kind messages or showed up to a market, your support has meant the world 🙏🏼

I am so proud of what we have created here with Sol Markets - the community is truly a cut above the rest and I can’t wait to see what we accomplish next 🌱🌞

💧A reminder to bring your reusable water bottle this weekend 💧

We’re still a very new market and while we hunt for a sustainable, long-term solution to providing free water at our events, we encourage you to bring your own bottle ♻️

Throwback to our last market where we had the as part of a month-long series of sustainable events in March 🌿

Crowd favourites will be having an end of season mega sale at our market this Sunday 🌊 If you’ve been eyeing up their towels all summer, now is the perfect time to buy one for yourself 🙌🏼

When stallholders sign up to Sol Markets, they are encouraged to bring along their end of season/cosmetically-imperfect stock too 🍂 We love being able to promote a more circular economy in this way and offer different price points for people 🌱♻️

This Sunday we are bringing you something pretty special 💉💉

Having a sustainability market is not just about showcasing planet-friendly products, but about introducing you to sustainable practices too 🌍 That’s why we are thrilled to introduce multitalented artist Liam Makawe, who will be offering hand poke tattoos at our market this weekend ⚡️

Hand poke tattooing is the term used to describe the oldest skin marking traditions practiced by indigenous cultures all over the world before technology and steel tools ⚒

“When it comes to tattooing, I’m considering how I can have less impact on papatūānuku. That’s how our tupuna lived, so ‘Whai Tohu’, hand poke for me is a way of sustaining our traditions and papatūānuku” 🌱

You can find more of Liam’s work at .tohu and

Think it’s about time I introduce myself on here... hey, I’m Louella, the founder of Sol Markets 🙋🏼‍♀️

Prior to these markets I had zero business or event experience, I just knew that I was super passionate about sustainability and wanted to do something about it 🌍 The rest is kind of history... 🌱

I’ll be sharing more about how exactly Sol started over the next few weeks and our plans for the future, so keep an eye out! 👀
