Figtree Greengrocers
Figtree Greengrocers have a range of chocolates, jams, chutneys, nuts and more to give to your loved ones this year. However, ITC particularly wanted to highlight how an independent greengrocer has the ability to quickly order some artisanal products.
ITC wrote an article about two former Lane Cove locals who now live in Mudgee. They were both at the Food and Wine Festival by the River. We mentioned that Linda’s Chilli Relish was enjoyed by locals at the event and they would love to have a stockist in Lane Cove (an area that the owners lived in for years).
Jo from Figtree Greengrocers read our article and the next day, he placed an order for the relishes as he loves stocking small and independent products that you don’t find everywhere else (he currently has a fudge that ITC has not seen anywhere else and it is mind-blowing).
We got a call from Bruce and Linda saying how excited they were that ITC had mentioned them and they had received an order from a Lane Cove business.
Figtree Greengrocers is located at the Figtree Shops in Lane Cove West (grab your fruit and veg there) then hop on over to Hummerston’s Gourmet Meats for your meat!!
Read our article here about the Lane Cove expats that now make Mudgee their home here.
When we asked Linda and Bruce about their best seller.. they told us “Best seller….. They’re all gold medal-winning products, although our Lime and Ginger relish is certainly very popular.”
