Inner West Sydney Organics
I was out on a coffee run this morning with the little one and come a cross two new Organics stores. in Newtown and Petersham.
7 star supermarket
http://www.7starsupermarket.com.au/
408 King Street, Newtown, Ph 02 9565 5521
info@7starsupermarket.com.au
Ok, well it might not be that new, but it is the first time I have come across it. They have another address in Darlo, see the homepage for details. Big range, bit like a Macro or About Life. They were open early, even on Australia Day! There is a blog, but it's not been updated for months. Hopefully the guys will get some time to let us know about new products in early 2011.

Never heard of them before driving past the hidden Petersham doorfront this week. A specials board was being hung outside by what I can only presume is the co-owner of Uber Goodness: Stephen Although I have not entered the shop yet, I spent some time today navigating the website and found they have what looks to be an excellent online shopping service (incl fresh produce) @ http://www.ubergoodness.com.au/.
According to the website, you can even order online and pick up from the Organic Farmers Market @ Addison Rd Community Centre on Sundays 8.30am - 1.00pm. I am certainly adding it to my online shopping favs and will let you know the experience. Well done on the excellent website guys!
Give them both a go, let me know what you think?
