They've got the best array of carton fruit juices for endless cocktail concoctions come summer... and if you're a nuts fanatic, you'll get excellent nuts deals here. It's the perfect place to come for party snacks if you're planning to entertain. Every dip, cheese and cracker under the Aussue sun. Fruit and veg is all as fresh as it gets... sometimes it looks so shiny it's like every piece has been individually hand poished. You'll rarely have to wait because there's a stable of cashiers - all super friendly. The delicatessen runs virtually the entire length of the store llike a big deli bowling alley, and there's muesli to accommodate every diet restriction known to man. I used to do my full weekly shop at this joint. If you're wondering why it's called Harbord Growers when it's right bang smack in the middle of Freshwater, it's because Freshwater was formerly known as Harbord.

No. The shop was open so I went to buy fruit and the guy said "the girls will be here soon to serve…read moreyou" then I went out to get coffee and when I came back he was serving a woman and as I walked up he looked at me and said "the girls will help you when they're here" ok, why could he not serve me?!?! He served her and then told me to wait!!! I do not recommend to anyone!!! I must however recommend the girl who served me later, she was amazing!!!

All the produce in season is normally on sale at cheap & cheery prices. My advice, buy what's in season as its not just cheap but also the produce will be in its prime state. It's well priced, always busy & you can often find bargain priced one offs from to time like coconut water. It's also conveniently located in a complex with a seafood store, butcher, bakery, newsagent, cafes to sit down & get a coffee after you do all your shopping.

The shop in Cherrybrook is special because it carries a full range of specilaty groceries and is a haven for all the Italians in the area with lots of Italian foods and vege's. In the grocery section they have a lot of artisan pastas, I especially like the fettucine made with black ink. They also have a good range of other products like pomegranate juice, Tahini, heavenly banana bread and conserves. I love when zucchinin flowers and artichokes are in season because know I will be able to buy them there. It's definitely the fruit and vege market for people who like 'different' things.

Once you've gone and had a look around at Country Grower's, you'll know what fresh REALLY looks like. Nothing is wilted, nothing is yellowing, nothing has brown age spots on it, nothing is soggy and squished, it's sublime. Fresher, *and* cheaper. Why wouldn't you buy your veggies here? Why WOULD you pay more at a supermarket for old stock? You wouldn't, that is madness. At Westfield Parramatta, luckily, Country Grower's is located just a couple of levels down from Woolworths, so it's not too much of a hassle to head there after you've done your generic shopping. Give it a try!

Like 'Nice' biscuits? I disgress. The Cheese Shop in Mosman sells all the delicious English imports that you might hope for plus some of their snooty European counterparts - think Roquefort, Emmental, Gruyere, Blue - if you like mould then this is your place. Now, whilst it's possible that what they sell here you could buy in a decent Providore, there's something about this charming little shop with its cobbled together feel that is very appealing. You can walk out of here with your cheese, crackers, chutney and coffee and be a very happy customer. They do a Jamie Oliver sandwich for $5 which is cheese, pickled onions and crisps. So very wrong. So very right.

I also thought of the image of…read morethe cheese shops you find in Europe - the Borough Market and Covent Garden ones in London come to mind first. They are filled to the brim with huge round lumps of fresh cheese of all kinds. Mmmm cheeeeeese. Unfortunately the Cheese and Coffee Bar in Mosman isn't quite the cheese delight I was hoping for. It has a pretty modest selection of cheeses but then it's not the sole focus of the shop is it? Being a coffee bar too takes some of the focus of the smelly yellow stuff... sort of. The café part is quite small. There's a wee library of books to choose from if you fancy a quiet read and a selection of sandwiches and cheese platters if you're a little rumbly in the tummy. Simple and sweet enough but don't expect a traditional cheese shop.
