 | Our growers Well, luckily for us (and all Sydneysiders) some of the best organically grown produce is grown within a couple of hours drive from the city. A lot of the time, the farmers themselves jump in their ute with their muddy boots and drop all their gorgeously fresh fruit and veg to us still wet with the dew from that morning - it doesn’t get much fresher than that! Say hello if you see them parked out on the road in front of the stores, these fellows and their families are the ones who lovingly grow all the produce you eat from our shelves. | |
