Besides fresh produce, the store offers flowers, a large variety of cheese, some small goods, frozen fruit for smoothies, and healthy snack choices. During Mother's Day and the Christmas season, the store becomes a busy center where many people shop for different products, so it's wise to plan your visit or come early to skip long lines. I strongly recommend the fresh fruits and vegetables; they are excellent.

The bright variety of colours cry out that antioxidants are here for the taking. I do find it a little more expensive to shop here for produce over the supermarket, but it's SO much better quality and taste it's well worth it. There is also a wide variety of gourmet and continental foods and condiments, as well as dried fruits and nuts. In a nutshell - market fresh!

Great place. I'm walking past here every time I come to the village, and I always see something…read morepriced that makes me go ooooh. On a regular basis if you food shop in the village, and some fruit and veg seem a little overpriced in the supermarkets, this place is a great alternative for finding lower priced goods. Example at the moment capsicums and zucchini's are fairly dear per kilo, yet this greengrocer has them on sale for no more than $5 a kilo, which is a lot better!! Probably not as good as a market place for fresh produce, but for somewhere in the burbs close to home and other shops- here is a great alternative for finding some great deals!! One note I did find is that some of the produce isn't in perfect condition as what you'd see in supermarkets, so if you're a perfectionist with how you prefer your produce to look- you may find yourself picking through piles. Overall this greengrocer is worth a look if you're in the area. It's a very clean, neat and tidy laid out store so when passing by you're bound to discover something that'll stand out to you.

I imagine it would be difficult as a green grocer trying to survive in a day and age where pretty…read moremuch all of your fruit and vegetable needs can be met by a quick visit to a chain supermarket. They're open for longer, they can sell their product at a lower price, and it's just more convenient getting your groceries done all in one place. But let me tell you this - there's no substitute for quality, and there's no substitute for fresh, organic fruit and vegetables. I started shopping here soon after they opened, and after one visit I was hooked. The fruit tastes better, the vegetables are better to cook with, and the variety is more varied than that of any supermarket. And, to my surprise, the prices are actually lower (considering the supermarkets aren't trying to get rid of stock, in which case it's not that fresh anymore anyway). On top of having a huge choice of fruits and vegetables to choose from, Simply Fresh Fruiterer also stocks organic yoghurts, coffee, sweets, and pasta sauces. The store clerks are always incredibly friendly and informative of their produce, and the sensation of being able to pick fruit from a fresh batch and being surrounded by colour is something that's taken for granted. It's not something that most would consider getting excited about, but I'm a simple man with simple pleasures!

There are all the usual favourites, plus the quirky veggies (yes I'm looking at you artichokes) that this demographic demand. They do focus on SA produce so there are plenty of Adelaide Hills fruits and Adelaide plains vegetables, plus local condiments. They usually have a special each week of an extraordinary low price, so watch my tweets on a Sunday morning for 2 punnets of blueberries for $4! Tip: There's a free coffee machine inside. It's not going to satisfy a connoisseur, but it'll get you through a caffine craving. Please remember your own bags - the produce won't fight on the ride home if they're together. I completely understand for all those baby spinach/lettuce leaf types, but why would you put bananas in a plastic bag? #ThinkGreen

I was lucky enough to get invited along to the Norwood Community Markets not too long after they…read morefirst started up. I got to meet Chantalle, who runs the markets, and I got to sample plenty of things from the various stalls. I've been back a few times, and have got to see many changes at the markets, including the move to the beautiful Wesley Church on the corner of the Parade and Portrush Road. The market is a real mix bag, selling everything from vintage goods and clothing, craft, jewellery, fresh fruit, tea, and so much more. Regulars include an Indian curry stall which is always popular, and a book stall that support the Indigenous Literacy Foundation. There's the badge making stall for kids (you can bring your own pictures along, draw one, or choose from the ones available), as well as free kids activities, and sometimes you'll find a train for the kids or a jumping castle. Every time I head along I'm shocked that there aren't more people around. But I have a feeling that on some nice Spring & Summer markets they'll flock there. It's a great thing for the local community to embrace. The markets are on the 2nd & 4th Sat of every month.

With cheese making facilities on site the real attraction for punters like you and me is the La Vera retail outlet shop. The shop is open to the general public who can buy both the amazing array of La Vera cheeses along with all sorts of other gourmet treats. Visit the shop on almost any day and you'll be joined at the counter by legions of Italian ladies. In fact the chief language spoken inside the shop is Italian. Not being familiar with the language myself, I brought the tone down considerably with my Aussie strine but the whole experience made me feel like I was temporarily transported to an Italian marketplace. Of their range of products, the cheeses I recommend are the La Vera Ricotta which head cheese maker Pino says is best eaten on fresh bread and with a drizzle of honey - his version of the breakfast of champions. I love the La Vera Mascarpone. It is quite simply to die for. In fact you may want to visit your local GP first to get your cholesterol checked before eating. Their mozzarella balls both large and small, are the creamiest and most divine you could experience. And if you are a lover of blue cheese, you just can't go past the La Vera Adel Blue and the Adel Blue Spreadable. Here's a secret tip - if you go to the ABC's website for The Cook and the Chef, and search the recipes for Fig and Blue Cheese Tartlets, Maggie Beer's recipe uses the La Vera products. Shhh, don't tell!

There's everything from hard Pecorino and Parmesan to Mozarella and Bocconcini, Blue, Brie, and everything in between. I recommend the hot chilli Casalingo - I haven't had another cheese like it.

The quality has improved greatly and I still love the specials on the sidewalk, and then I venture inside. Many products are kept in the fridge and the lettuces are deliciously crisp. You can even buy fresh fruit salad ready to eat. The size of the avocados huge, and a bargain at two for $5. I have discovered that many vegetables are home grown, and the red capsicums are firm and tasty. Out the front you can buy potted herbs, fruit, huge bags of onions and the list goes on. There is a large assortment of flowers, and Natalie is talented making beautiful arrangements if there is nothing you want from the huge selection of bouquets and boxes. The prices are excellent without compromising on quality. The new owners are friendly and helpful, and I'm so happy that this place is my local. I can see them getting busier and busier once people know how great this shop is in the Dernancourt Shopping Centre.
