The organic movement has caught on quickly in Brisbane. It's now possible to shop at organic supermarkets, eat at organic restaurants and even get a haircut at an organic hairdresser thanks to these retailers.
Fundamental Food Store, also known as
Fundies, is one of Australia's leading organic retailers. As well as groceries, shoppers can also purchase organic vitamins, beauty products, pet care and baby items. Fundies is located in Paddington (
219 Given Terrace).
Home Fresh Organics is a family operated business that home delivers organic produce and other grocery items. You can order a medium box for $54.50 or a large box for $69.50 and receive free delivery. The boxes contain essential, annual produce like potatoes, carrots and apples and a selection of seasonal fruit and vegetables. Customers can opt to personalise their box and to add grocery items like eggs, meat, bread or dairy.
You can also purchase food at the
Northey Street Organic Markets (
Northey Street City Farm, Windsor) every Sunday from 6.00am or from the
Organic Farmers Markets (
150-169 Rowley Road, Burpengary) on the first and third Saturday of the month.
