Reviews about Wholey Health

  This is such a great little store, well worth a visit from locals or travellers just passing through.
  The shop is a community cooperative run by two people and although the business is in its early stages (trading since Christmas 2017) it already has a loyal local following growing all the time.
  
  Trading under Wholey Health at present, this cute little shop is reminiscent of a bygone village grocery store. But don’t be misled by the rustic homely style of the decor - the ambience may conjure up traditional country living but the aspirations of owner Jocelyn Apeldoorn are very much forward thinking and innovative.
  
  At present a range of groceries are on display including fresh fruit and vegetables, preserves, fresh bread, free range eggs and local artisan cheeses. In the cool cabinet you will find smoked mussels and oysters and fresh local salads.
  
  The fresh produce is supplied by local growers and householders under the cooperative system. For $10 a month members benefit from a generous discount which can be offset by supplying the store with stock! The selection and quantity of fresh produce varies with seasonality, weather and local supply.
  
  On the shelves are a range of fare trade teas and coffees, condiments and ingredients including bulk-buy vinegars, oils and dry stores. Remember to bring your own container!
  
  At present the IT infrastructure at point of sale is rudimentary but there is paywave and the promise of modern retail-tech in the future. But that’s no bad thing because as you wait for your items to be bagged up you have time to peruse the selection of bespoke gifts and crafts on display including handmade candles, baby clothes, essential oils and soaps, textiles and other
  hand-made artisan artefacts all inexpensively priced. If you’re after a very personal gift from a local craftsperson you have unexpectedly found yourself in the right place!
  
  Plans for the future include expansion of the shop footprint to the rear and some exciting pop-up events such as tea tastings!
  
  I challenge you to pop in and not be welcomed, amazed, and contented at your shopping experience.
