One of my favorite produce shops around Christchurch. They have a good range of fruit and veggies at relatively affordable prices (better than suermarkets). They also sell ice cream (which is good when coming with kids) and meat products. Really a one stop shopping when in need of these lroducts at the same time. The place can get really crowded at times (especially on days approaching Christmas), but we always enjoy being in the crowd so no problem. I hope they stock more tropical fruits like mango and cocunuts (at more affordable price) in the future.

The watermelon I bought last weekend was not fresh and I got ZERO costumer survive from them.
The watermelon started leaking and smelling within ONE day, ruining my carpet.
When we called, the staff mocked us for not putting it in a fridge, even though it was sold sitting in the sun at the shop. The owner did not resolve the issue and kept delaying, ignoring our messages.
I’ve always tried to support local, but clearly this local business does not give enough support or customer service to the people who support them.
Only shop here if you enjoy bad service and a side of sarcasm.

Been buying our veg here for over a year and have noticed recently that the quality is not as good. Today's strawberries was the worst so far. I bought 2 punnets. On the left is what is rotten, on the right is what I can give my family to eat. The kiwis were also mushy in the display boxes. Hopefully quality control picks up and we can enjoy supporting them again.

Still my favourite veg shop around Christchurch. A wide selection of produce and reasonably priced. But I have noticed recently that the quality is not as good as it used to be. +1 for Real Bread Kitchen, they are hard to find. -1 for broken down parking lot.

Great variety of produce. Prices are lesser than many of theain supermarkets as well. Friendly staff. Lots of parking space too. Accessibility is no issue.
