Seeking out organic produce can be hard work. Many google searches later, you may find you’re still not satisfied with the limited listings.
Over the years, I've collected recommendations from patients and readers, along with trying out hot spots myself. I’ve refined an (updated) list for you of organic cafes, markets, shops and supermarkets around town. If you’re flying in for the weekend or a local Adelaidian, enjoy the high quality, organic & seasonal produce Adelaide has to offer.

Farmers Markets
Farmers markets are a great opportunity to pick up fresh, local produce, support and have a chat with the farmers themselves. Not all stores at farmers markets will have organic produce, so its a good idea to ask the growers. If you become a regular, it pays off to gain a market membership, giving you benefit of weekly discounts.

What About Melbourne?
I’ve recently had some requests of where to find organics in the foodie city of Melbourne. For now, head over to Organic Angels for more info.
I've also been told that the Terra Madre supermarket in Northcote, Victoria is worth a visit.
Support Local Seasonal & Organics
When sourcing your foods, if 100% organic isn’t possible, seek produce straight from the farmers so you can build a relationship with them and learn about their farming practises. They may be spray free but not certified organic.
Vote with your dollar and support these local businesses who supply us with wholesome produce, free from herbicides and pesticides.
