I have been growing to Frederick since I moved to Richmond about eight months ago. They have tons…read moreof healthy produce in products that will never make you feel guilty about eating them. On top of that they are huge supporters of local businesses and small businesses which have a special place in my heart and to be honest is the main reason why I keep going back to this place. The workers are also very genuine and I always have a lovely chat with them when I come in to buy something.

Every time I go to Glenferrie (Hawthorn), I do not leave the area empty handed without taking home…read morea few of their gourmet sausages: we are talking about flavours such as rosemary, cheese and chives. See and appreciate for yourself. There is (every Saturday) this budding cook cooking delicious sausages for you to smell, taste and appreciate: like a mini appetiser/snack: there is no limit to the number of little sausage pieces you can try. This staff member (the same guy every weekend) is always so cheerful and friendly. It gets interesting once you come inside. You would almost feel guilty if you walked away depending on how many sausages you have tried. Their cooked gourmet sausages is a great hook to come inside. Truly divine. More like a deli instead of a butchery of gourmet meats. The staff are so energetic (full of protein literally) and I always (without fail) order two parmas that just need to be whacked into the microwave for a few minutes, and they are just a meal in itself for me on those respective two nights a week I am not in the mood to cook. Great value for gourmet meat. My Amex doesn't always think so.

I loved that bite so much I had to buy it and I continue on doing so whenever I feel like eating meat. They offer quite a good range of produce and staff is really friendly. Prices are affordable even for me as a student. Highly recommended!:)

Friendly staff and actually not too pricey when compared to supermarket ( and there is no way that the supermarket compares in any way! ) There is also a substantial deli section with imported and other interesting items to match up with their meat..

It offers daily…read moremarket fresh fruit and vegetables, organic produce, Allergy-friendly products, healthy home cooked foods and gluten free options. Sound good? It did to me as well. In fact, I love finding store like these because I get to stock up on healthier options and feel better about myself. But the problem I have with this store is that it is quite costly to shop at. I realised I was paying three times the amount from another local fruit shop and getting the exact same fruit. My solution: stop buying fruit here! But is till frequent this store for it's good range of gluten-free products and organic produce. I guess there are some things you just have to pay good money for.

Bodhi Kitchen is the big brother to the Bodhi Leaf and Bean cafe next door. This attractive…read morewholefoods store has all the fresh fruit and vegetables you need to get you through the week. They've set it up like a little market place where it's busy with lots of Caulfield residents picking out the best produce. They've taken a lot of care with this place, providing allergy friendly products as well as organic and non-organic items as well. I was thoroughly impressed with the wholefood store and cafe being next to each other promoting healthy foods and Fairtrade products. It's refreshing in this area in particular, which seems a little empty when it comes to culture and fine foods.

Conveniently located next to Woolies in Vogue Plaza, I normally go to Green Apple Fruit and Deli…read morewhen I can't find what I need at Woolies. Sad but true! Unfortunately, this store is my second choice but at times, has offered a good variety of fresh fruit and vegetables at competitive prices compared to its neighbour. However, I have to say that the service staff at Green Apple Fruit and Deli are certainly uninterested in anything but chatting among themselves. On more than one occasion I've had to wait for the cashiers to finish their chat before being served. And I'm not one to be picky about these things but when you're rushing home to cook dinner with a handful of groceries, you really want to just pay and get out of there. Besides that, I've picked out some very sad looking vegetables before and handed it to the counter staff to be thrown out- but when I was there the day after, the same sad bunches were still for sale. That being said, this store does have its perks - like super cheap seasonal fruit (while stocks lasts) and a good range of gourmet condiments. But unfortunately, playing second fiddle to its larger next door neighbour is only expected.

I always love having a stroll around Green Apple Fruit and Deli, there are so many great products…read morein this elegantly set out store, if your lucky you will find that they do put plenty of products on tasting usually on the weekends. the fruit and veg here is always nice and fresh and if your not happy the staff have no problem in replacing it for you, we all know that fruits and vegies do go off and its sometimes hard to keep control of so many fresh products, but I think that Green Apple is doing a great job in competing with their much larger rival woolworths, whenever woolies have a special on Green Apple are always on top of it and beat their price and usually offer better quality fruit and veg. for example: Strawberries: Woolies: $3.98 ea Green Apple Fruit+Deli: 2 for $5 Mangoes: Woolies: $3.98 ea Green Apple Fruit+Deli: 3 for $6 Avocados: Woolies: $2.48 ea Green Apple Fruit+Deli: 3 for $5 THAT'S FOR EXACTLY THE SAME AVOCADOS!! Bananas: Woolies: $2.48 kg Green Apple Fruit+Deli: $1.78 kg Nectarines: Woolies: $4.48 kg Green Apple Fruit+Deli: $2.78 kg That's Just some of the great savings you can find in this great store, I think that the staff at Green Apple are usually nice and polite, well they could smile abit more but at least they are polite. If your not happy you can ask for the young man who looks after the family business, he always seems to have a great smile on his face and always keen on having a chat to customers.
