Regarding recommendations: I find that as well as shopping at Farmers markets you can also find some good quality real food at places like Leo's and Phillipas (supermarket and bread). In Melbourne we are spoilt for choice... it's only that sometimes I find I have limited time and have to try to get everything at one place ie Coles/Safeway instead of going around all the specialty places. In an ideal world I would have the time to go and hand-pick everything from the best outlets. At least once a month I do... but sadly not every weekend.
