Picnic-perfect pickings at James St Market, Fortitude Valley
A fresh produce wonderland, James St Market in Fortitude Valley exudes perfection across display and quality. An emporium of the daily needs – well the classy ones at least – James St Market is a go-to locale for fresh fruit and vegetables, dairy and condiments, with a deli to satisfy carnivorous cravings and French Twist on hand for a hot morning loaf.
Every herb under the sun can be found packaged neatly into individual sleeves – and seem to have a magically longer fridge life than regular grocery store herbs – while juicy Truss tomatoes and bundles of baby asparagus beckon to be turned into a salad.
Specialty fruits like cumquats and quinces are a sure win too, alongside difficult-to-find zucchini flowers. Many a gluten-free organic dip will tempt the picnic-goer, alongside small tubs of Udder Delights goats curd and creamy slices of d’affinois. Complete the shopping trip with a bouquet of flowers and something sweet from The Nut Market down the way.
