This is the only organic shop left in Hamilton, back in the 90s there were a handful of lively…read moreoutlets dotted around the suburbs but they died out. Luckily Village Organics has upped its game and cleaned up the shelves and improved on the freshness of the produce. The shop is located at the end of the 'Main Street' Commerce Street of Frankton Village, where they hold the outdoor busy weekly Frankton Market which has crafts and food. The lines that are stocked in this shop have expanded over the years and you can now buy almost everything available at your local Huckleberry or Harvest but with a dollar or so more added to the price tag. For example the Brinks organic chickens which are $25 at New World Auckland are $30 here. And the Pacific Hazelnut milk I'm addicted to is $6.60 in Auckland but $7.45 here. Considering the extra costs of transport and scale of the business I think the price is worth it! The staff are friendly, they gave me some ground cloves from their kitchen for free as there were none on the shelves. The younger shop workers are always willing to ask their seniors if you have a query. You can get chilled sweet slices and cakes in the small cabinet near the checkouts, check them out next time you visit the Tron.

I love this place. Love it. Because I can eat almost everything in it. Being plagued with being…read moregluten and dairy free has its challenges when trying to shop at most supermarkets. But not this one. They have everything you need if you're on a specialty diet, or if you're just following the crowd and doing it anyways. It's really handy if you need something on your way home from work as it's open until 7pm on weekdays. And it also has a brilliant community vibe that makes me want to always go there because I know I'm helping a local business. I'm always surprised with what I find there, they make my life a whole lot easier as I know I can go there and come out with everything I need to make a meal that I can enjoy.

Great selection of health/organic food and environmentally-friendly shopping choices. They stock…read moreeco-store products, organic and natural shampoos and soaps, various food items, all kinds of vitamins and natural supplements, all that sort of stuff. This is where you can find organic cotton tampons, non-chemical chapsticks, Comvita throat lozenges. Friendly and knowledgeable staff who don't think you're weird when you don't want a bag, and they have a loyalty card system. Conveniently located near a supermarket, post office, florist... it's a very handy place to stop in and pick up your naturally derived products. There's also a fruit and vege store owned by - I believe - the same people, just around the corner so you can also pick up your produce and free range eggs all in the same trip. Tip: Access/closer parking is easier if you drive in from the Highland Park Drive side, between the two Countdowns. (Yes, two Countdowns. It's ridiculous I know.)

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.
