Foodies of Marrickville, we’ve got good news. The Inner West suburb may well be home to one of the best farmers markets in Sydney, but if you’re a Marrickville resident keen to forage for fresh produce all through the week, the game has just changed. One of Sydney's favourite green grocers, the family-owned Harris Farm, has just opened its 33rd store, right in the heart of one of Sydney’s trendiest neighbourhoods.
Marrickville is definitely not sitting still – this new development opens after a Marrickville gem took home the People’s Choice Award for Sydney’s Best Restaurant (and also ranked on the list of the best steak restaurants in the world); Gelato Messina opened its new HQ and cult-following bagel store Lox in a Box opened not one but two Marrickville locations. The trendy, post-industrial suburb (the current beating heart of Sydney’s live music scene) is also home to the gym/"wellness playground" largely regarded as Sydney's very best.
The new Harris Farm mecca of fresh produce occupies a 1,800sqm space at Marrickville's new "Wicks Place", which has been under development at 186 Victoria Road, Marrickville – just down the road from the neighbourhood favourite pizza joint Pizza Madre and near the Vic on the Park (home to one of the city’s most consistently popping beer gardens). The new development is also home to a branch of Sydney’s beloved Chargrill Charlies (one of the best charcoal chicken shops in the city) and 270 apartments (spread across five buildings).
Wondering what’s in store? Expect Harris Farm’s signatures including their affordable, sustainable Imperfect Picks range, freshly-made treats (juice, tiramisu etc) and a huge range of seasonal produce. Plus: fresh bread from Bonfire Bakery, ethically-sourced fish from Fish in the Family, meat from Proper Meat, cold cuts from HFM Delicatessen and more than 500 types of cheese.
Happy shopping – and keep Marrickville Organic Markets on your Sunday hit-list, they’re not going anywhere.
