Healthy and Organic Food

Certified Organic Food

There are not many options for organic food in Dubbo, but they are slowly appearing.

Fruit and Vegetables

Dubbo is not great for Organic food options. The best place to get organic fruit and vegetables is by delivery from the Bathurst wholefood co-op.

To buy locally, it’s pretty much Coles or Woolworths. Woolworths in West Dubbo (Delroy) has the biggest range of Organic F&V. There’s also Coles in Centro Mall and then Woolworths in Orana Mall and Riverdale. Between the three supermarkets you are likely to be able to get  broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, carrots, corn, celery, leeks, shallots, beetroot, apples, mushrooms and  potatoes.

The farmer’s markets on the first and third Saturday are woeful for organic food although they do have locally grown produce for sale.

Coffee Shops

Alchemy Cafe have soem great options.Gluten Free.  Paleo. Grain Free. Organic. All fresh. All local. All yummy too.

Butter

The only place I’ve seen Organic Butter is Healthy Life – 269 Darling St, South Dubbo. Update – also at Aldi and the other supermarkets now.)

Non-certified organic but good food…

Fruit and Vegetables

There are a couple of f&v stalls at the Dubbo Farmer’s Markets who say they use no pesticides or herbicides, worth checking out, not certified organic, but fresh and local.

Meat

Farmer’s Choice butchery (273 Darling Street and Riverdale Mall) sells locally grown Gilgandra chooks, they arrive fresh on Wednesdays, and taste like real chickens.

The Bourke St Butchery about 200m from Erskine St on the left on the Gilgandra Road sells grass fed beef, grain free sausages and nitrate free bacon.

Eggs

For the best eggs in Dubbo you can’t go past Brigadoon Harvest. Just out of Dubbo at Tooraweena their chickens roam free in the paddocks with their own friendly Maremma dogs to guard them.  You can get their eggs in Dubbo at the Farmer’s markets or at Healthy Life, 269 Darling St. http://www.brigadoonharvest.com.au/

Also Bourke Street Butchery and DMC stock local eggs.

Healthy Life also stocks Kamut and Spelt breads, and a good range of grains and oils etc.

    For organic meat try Gilgai Farms who do lamb and beef (02) 6687 1621. They deliver to Dubbo on Thursdays and you can collect it from the wholesalers on Douglas Mawson Drive.

    Thanks for that Wayne. Are there any notable updates for 2020? Is there currently a shop that sells the Brigadoon eggs? Is it still just the supermarkets for organic fruit and veg? Cheers, Peter.
