It was a big day today after a weekend road trip up to the hills of the South Gippy Highway, always topped off by a stop at Paddlewheel, a great produce store in Koonwarra. They source their stuff as locally as possible and are as nuts about good local food as me. While they have a bunch of great stuff, another store at Prahran market and better photos (above) than mine (below), they also often have organic produce at feel-good prices.
While I'm not necessarily suggesting you drive 142 kilometres for your organic avos (I might be nuts but feel-good food obsession comes in degrees), I am suggesting you can get top produce, often organic, at really good prices if you've got your feel-good food radar on - and if you remember great finds at great stores.
Avo tip for spring zing: Slice some good avocado onto bread, cracker, toast, whatever and throw on a few mint leaves. The combo sends your taste buds silly. Avo & mint really is mint.
What's your favourite produce store in the country?
