Surrey Hills Grocer is one of Singapore’s latest sustainable grocery stores. Located in Joo Koon, this Australian farmgate-experiential grocer is one you have to pay a visit to because it is sustainable, provides store-to-boot services and features lesser-known micro farmers, growers, and makers.

The store is passionate about providing high-quality items to consumers that come directly from the source which means that products are priced competitively and farmers are well paid and showcased.

You can find all kinds of Australian produce here including chocolate, yoghurt and more here which you will likely not find anywhere else in Singapore.
