Fruit & Veg does not come better than this! FRESH everyday…read morefrom the market and not pre packed, you can choose your own from the huge selection Matthew provides daily with a smile. I have never tasted apples like the ones this local independent and trust worthy shop has to offer, and there is always locally grown seasonal produce. Matthew always makes the effort to find fresh produce that has been grown within 50 miles of his shop and labels them for all his customers to see. An added bonus is if there is something particular you are after, all you have to do is ask and the next day you have the best quality of it! There is a free delivery service if you cant carry your 10lb of spuds and carrots etc home with you or if you cant get to the shop at all which is fab for the older generation. Also THE BEST place for Christmas trees! Always service with a smile :)

One of the last corner fruit & veg shops left. Very wide selection of fresh, good looking produce,…read moreand an even wider selection of cereals, grains, sauces, dairy, teas and even an ecover refill station. Staffed by friendly & helpful folk, open 8 'till 8 (6 on Saturday, not open Sunday). Only drawback is that it's not the cheapest (and can sell out of date stuff so check the labels) but much better quality than your average supermarket. A brilliant place and jam packed with customers most of the time, always a good sign : )

I was pleasantly surprised! More veg variety than the often a little uninspiring coop, local homemade pies, wool of the same brand but a lower price than some in the wool shop, local bakers ad butchers (I didn't see any candlestick makers...). Wrapping paper, all sorts. Of course, there is a good amount of the sort of market stuff I don't plump for, the occasional plagiaristic-ish clothing stall for example, but if you're happy to have a bit of a walk around, then you may well find some good bits and bobs.

I love a local grocer. Hughes is no exception - they had a really good selection of fruit and veg,…read morewhich all looked in very good nick. They also had other useful bits and bobs such as nuts and herbs, and 2 packets of Foxes chocolate biscuits for a mere £1! That was, of course, a special offer - I can't promise you that that is a permanent feature... I bought an enormous bag of Braeburn apples and a less enormous bag of nectarines, - plus my 2 packets of biscuits it all came to £3.58, which seemed very reasonable.

Hughes is a mini supermarket that mainly sells fresh fruit and vegetables. They also sell a few…read moreplain flowers. The only negative thing I have to say about Hughes is that the aisles are narrow and I soon discovered people have to walk down them in single file. If you want to go past somebody you'll have to shuffle or squeeze past them. I'm sure this invaded people's personal space, like it did mine. Birmingham has loads of shops like Hughes and many of the ones I've seen are quiet unclean and it's obvious the products have been left out for a while. Here though, there's probably fresher fruit and vegetable here than in the supermarket not to mention the prices are a lot better. As well as the normal prices being low, I was also pleased to see the amount of deals they had. Two boxes of strawberries can be picked up for £1.00 and a bunch of bananas for just under £1.00. So I think this shop is underrated.

As a small, independent fruit and veg shop; its prices are relatively cheap but obviously not quite…read moreas cheap as the supermarkets. You can pick up a bag of carrots for around £1.50, lettuce £1.50, potatoes £2.50. you can also get hold of Christmas trees in the season at around £35-40 and pumpkins. The trees aren't big enough for me though, if i'm having a tree, i go hard or go home. Its always open so if your local and need a quick supply of potatoes, that's where you need to be.

Kings Heath farmers Market happens every first Saturday of the month between Kings Heath High…read moreStreet and Vicarage Road. During the development of the village square, the market had to move further down Vicarage road, but has since relocated to the quite eccentric updated space, which see's random fountains of water and grave stones sunken into pathways. It's quite a surreal experience, and I don't suggest walking through the space while drunk. The area becomes even more bizarre when taken over by the farmers market, as stalls are placed in between these randomly sunken stones. It reminds me of some sort parallel Kings Heath, where everything is melting in the village square, but the people just act as though it is a normality and set up a market over the space. Anyway, the local food sold here is of high quality, and many of the Moseley Farmers Market stall holders also set up here. Meaning that if you miss the Moseley market, you can always catch them at the Kings Heath one. There are also some different stalls who sell better jams than Moseley, in my opinion, so I always buy jam from Kings Heath market instead. Prices of products aren't necessarily cheap, but you certainly get your value for money, as the flavour of the food (especially the jam) is top notch.

I heard about this lovely market from a friend of mine who lives in the area. As a good street…read moremarket it's always an option of an enjoyable day out on a weekend, my husband, his auntie and I decided to go to Kings Heath and check it out. It was a delicious surprise, literally, because with all food stalls available it was almost a truly gastronomic experience. I regret having breakfast because empty belly in this place can be a very good starting. I just loved the farming made products available there. It's almost like going back to the deep south of Brazil or some countryside cities where farm culture is preserved and you always have the possibility of visiting farms and eat their delicious food. I heard about these farmer markets in Birmingham areas before but it's just unbelievable the variety of cakes, baked breads, handmade cheese and other fresh and pretty healthy products available in these places. If you fancy organic products, there are good source of vegetables and fruit to choose as well. The plants, flowers and other memorabilia are also a charming complement to these markets and people working on it are usually very gentle. I like the fact it's held on Saturdays (first of each month) because it makes things very easy for who works during week and just have time to catch up with it during the weekends. I am glad I made Kings Heath Farmers market. In Brazil we have some similar street markets ( with the difference that we sell almost everything ) and it's always good to find such a lovely experience like this here as well.

I absolutely love this place. As a vegetarian and lover of healthy and organic foods I was in my…read moreelement. When you first get in there is an abundance of brightly coloured vegetables and potatoes and carrots that are still dirty (always a good sign). I knew I was in my kind of place straight away. I love that they try to keep packaging to a minimum, using paper bags for the fresh vegetables. There is a huge range of vegetarian products (more tofu than you could ever need...if that's even a thing), seitan and tempeh in all different forms. I love how their dried foods are all packaged in simple bags with their label on....gotta love no fuss packaging. There is also a deli counter ranging from olives, onion bhajis and daals. I tried an onion bhaji and it was amazing. Although pricier than most supermarkets, I thought the prices were reasonable (being used to Wholefoods etc. in London) for organic, fresh produce and I love that it is a co-operative. I would definitely rather pay more for local produce that isn't mass-produced. I will definitely be shopping here regularly.

Amazed by this place…read more I haven't seen anywhere like it since my travels to Portland. It has a real community atmosphere. Everyone involved, from the growers to the staff to the people shopping, care and it really shows. It's honest. It's exactly where you want to buy your vegetables. There's soil on the fresh produce. Actual soil. No cellophane, no unnecessary packaging, no nonsense - just tasty, local food. The shelves are clearly labelled and well stocked with interesting offerings. They have your staples - potatoes, all the usual veg, cereals, spices, fruits as well as some more unusual choices when/if it's in season. Prices are reasonable and when you pay you feel like you're contributing - something you never experience in a chain supermarket. There's a play area for kids and free apples to keep them occupied - with a little compost bin for the cores. A big green thumbs up.
