At the time of writing, Parklands Fruit & Vege are closed for two weeks to renovate their shop…read more Because they are such awesome people they have made little flyers to put in the bags to let everyone know. I know my household is not the only one who will miss them but they do get mad busy sometimes so I imagine their flash new shop will be worth the wait. The thing I love about this place is mainly the fact that the family that run it are so friendly and hardworking. I also know that anything I buy from here will be good - if it's not perfectly fresh and tasty, they don't sell it. Everyone has had those times with the bad bag of kiwifruit or floury apples or whatever, but if that happened here they would be so embarrassed and no doubt give you your money back. It's that kind of place; they CARE. The pricing is excellent and I've seen them help people carry their stuff to the car, give free pieces of fruit to cute littlies and genuinely be a cornerstone to the Balmoral community - it's like the pub for busy mums; if I haven't seen someone in a while, odds are I will run into them here.

This fruit shop would have to be the best fruit shop I've ever shopped at. The service there is…read moreimpeccable. The staff are all family based and each person greets you with a smile when you enter the store. Every time I go there, I am never disappointed. The fruit and vegetables there are always fresh and I can always trust that what I buy is of top quality. Everything there is top quality. Everything from the service, to the products is top notch. This shop has been here since I was a kid. It is one of the only establishments that make Balmoral what it is. Incredibly fresh fruit and a lively store run by a lovely family.

What I really like about this Fruit World, maybe the others do it as well, but this one had all the…read morefruit and veges as you would expect. Its also bit of a mini market, its got a number of Asian goods - tofu, soya sauce, noodles and all that. But it also got Italian/Mediterranean type stuff like Olives, feta cheese, pasta, pasta sauce, and it also has some really good oils, like Omega mix with Avocado oil and Olive Oil. I also love that its clean and tidy inside, some Fruit/Asian type places aren't. Also it's nice and handy and has good parking. I also always find the staff to be super friendly and I love that they offer me a box instead of plastic bags.

The selection here is really good , you can get everything from amaranth to zucchini …read more Staff are friendly . Although price wise can be up and down due to market availability and prices set . They have some noodles and dim sum products in their freezer section . Sometimes they have things you wouldn't expect like corn chips and fried tofu . The car park is RIDICULOUS !!! , building is on a slight bend so park next door at the paint shop .

This fruit and vege shop has become my local after moving to Torbay recently. It's in a really…read morehandy location with the butcher right next door. So I usually just pop up the road to get something for tea that night. There's something awesome about buying locally and I feel a little bit more satisfied with my meal when I do. The fruit is sometimes a little sketchy but if you just dog around a little bit more you'll find good pieces of produce. They have just the right amount of produce. I hate going to fruit and vege stores only to find myself running up and down the huge aisles like I'm at the supermarket. This store is really cute and small so you can find everything because it's right in front of you.

My new local for fresh fruit and vege! Great range (although I wish they stocked more herbs) and…read morereasonable prices. My weekly shop for two here usually comes to under $50 and includes a tonne of fresh fruit and vege as well as eggs and depending on the week, nuts. They do also have bread, milk and cheese but it's more expensive that the supermarket and they've got a really limited range - wouldn't recommend unless desperate.

I popped into visit this organic farm while I was out for a run one day in the area and wanted to…read morecheck it out. I spoke to someone working out the front who directed me to the manager who was more than happy to talk to me about the farm and what they grow there. You can buy vegetables on-site or they also sell their produce at a farmers' market. He was preparing for a meeting at the time but offered to show me around the farm if I was able to come another time. As well as a range of organic vegetables they also have free range eggs and lamb. I have also since found out that Hamlin Farm provides work opportunities for people who have experienced mental illness and assisting their transition into the workforce. Awesome.

The highlight of my day...no scrap that, the highlight of my week was discovering a cheesemonger…read morehad opened in my hood. I was heading to my local butcher when I noticed the bike, basket full of fresh flowers, parked out front and the glorious name, 'The Cheese Room.' Inside was even more delightful. Shelve upon shelve of delectable looking chutneys, artisan crackers and fresh herbs. Down the back there's a temperature controlled cheese room with big wheels of NZ made cheese. Hand-written descriptions of each cheese including the region and the creamery help you to choose from the exciting selection. There's also a separate fridge containing goodies such as Neudorf yoghurt and Clevedon buffalo mozerella... my idea of heaven. I had a quick chat with the owner on my way out the door and it turns out they'd opened for business that very day! Unfortunately I didn't catch his name but he told me that him and his son have been selling cheese at markets for years and decided it was time to open a store. Well, I for one am thankful they did and judging by how busy they were on their first day, so is the Milford community!

Gorgeous shop, located on Kitchener Road in the heart of Milford. They stock many local and…read moreboutique crackers, relishes, chutneys and other food items which compliment the vast array of artisan cheeses they sell. The owner sold me on a beautiful Nettle Gouda (I forget where it's from but DELISH) and also a Smoked Parmesan (from Tauranga which I haven't sampled yet but it smells devine). Like Alex stated, the store is beautifully styled which also boasts a climate controlled cheese room at the back of the shop complete with automated door. While writing this review I realised I should have looked to see if they sold cheese slicers, I saw a selection of good quality knives for sale so I am sure they would. Will definitely have to inquire on my next visit. If you love cheese this place is a MUST visit!! Street parking or park at Milford Mall & make the short stroll across the road.
