Nelson’s high sunshine hours mean our growers can grow! In fact, it’s the reason so many Italian settlers made Nelson their home and began market gardening in The Wood in the early 1900s. We still stock many of the heirloom, locally-grown tomatoes today.
We’re fortunate to be surrounded by hardworking locals who turn out beautiful food and beverages; we source products from over 300 local suppliers, resulting in thousands of local products on our shelves.
Fresh Choice Nelson was the first New Zealand supermarket to offer you the now-famous Pic’s Peanut Butter, and we brought you Proper Crisps before these perfect potato chips graced the shelves of any other stores. Add to that locally grown organic veggies from the green-fingered Tasman Organic Company and free-range eggs from Quail Valley Farms, and you have all the ingredients for a supermarket that’s also a farmer’s market!
