Frank's Fruit Market - Haberfield
Frank's Fruit Market is located at 94 Ramsay St, Haberfield.
Frank and his wife have owned and run this shop now for over 30 years. This is fruit and veg shopping the old way. He only stocks produce in season and is a fountain of knowledge on the subject. While the shop may look small, don't be deceived, it is packed with produce and there is more out the back, just ask.
Look for the "local" tomatoes especially the ones he calls the "best". These are grown by his mates. They are very sweet, and the small ones are fed as "lollies" to the toddlers. These tomatoes give the famous "Johnny's Love Bites" a beating, and they are cheaper. Frank does occasionally sell the Johnnys. Frank is a tomato expert and keeps all the ones you'd expect as well as san marsano, ox-hearts and truss.
Other unusual produce worth noting are the zucchini flowers, cavolo nero (black cabbage), large broad beans in the pod, and jars of Mudgee Raw Honey. The honey is excellent and I have three connoisseurs at home who will not eat any other brand.
A word of warning, this shop is packed on Saturday mornings. Try another time (Saturday afternoon or any weekday), so you can actually talk to Frank.
