A huge THANK YOU to our incredible customers, supporters, and community. 🧡 We’re so proud to share that Fruity LIFE has been named in the top three retailers in Queensland in the A better choice Retailer Awards for the second year in a row.

This recognition means so much to us, but it truly wouldn’t be possible without the people who choose to shop local, support independent fruit and veg stores, and back businesses like ours every week.

A huge shoutout also goes to our hardworking team, who show up every day with pride, care, and a genuine love for what we do. Fruity LIFE is what it is because of the people behind it, our quality suppliers, and our wonderful customers who support us.

From all of us - thank you. We’re very grateful. 🍓🥦

Nambour’s Fruity LIFE named in top three in Qld retailer awards

Nambour’s Fruity Life has earned recognition for the second consecutive year in the A better choice retailer awards, by being voted the third best retailer in Queensland this week.

The A better choice! Retailer Program is a national program designed to educate consumers about the many benefits of shopping at their local, independent fruit and veg shop. A better choice! retailers provide their customers with a large range of quality, fresh, Australian grown produce sourced through Australia’s Central Markets.

The popular Howard Street business was established 11 years ago, and owner, Kurt Drummond, was thrilled with the award.

“To finish among Queensland’s top three again is something we are incredibly proud of. This recognition reflects the dedication of our team and the continued support of our loyal customers and community,” said Mr Drummond.

“We are particularly fortunate to have such a large number of incredible local producers. I think people are becoming more conscious about the quality of the food they eat, and where it comes from. We love to stock produce from our local suppliers and build relationships with them. The produce we can bring to the market is truly world class.”

Mr Drummond paid tribute to his hardworking staff for making Fruity Life a place that locals love to shop.

“Our shop manager, Clayton Glen and Mel Tollen, our grocery and front manager have been at Fruity Life for the entire journey,” he said.

“And Arhonda O’Brien, The Flinn family and all of our staff for the last couple of years of ranking in the top 3 in Qld, have given their best to make the shop what it is today.

“We would all like to thank the loyal customers who support our business. None of it is possible without them,” he said.

We’ve done a huge amount of tidying up in our paddocks in recent months and we need a good, old fashioned bonfire to clear the decks.

Join us for the weekend and a fire to remember. We’ll hopefully have the local rural fire department on hand for the kids to chat to too.

Fingers crossed it isn’t too windy, wet or dry this time around! 💨 ☔️ ☀️

What a treat 😍

Good habits don't need to be complicated.

A piece of fruit with breakfast. Choosing seasonal produce. Cooking a simple meal at home. Adding a few extra vegetables to your plate.

Small choices, repeated often, can make a big difference over time.

We're big believers in keeping it simple - because healthy habits are the ones that fit into everyday life.

💕 Mums, we’ve noticed something special… 💕

Lately, whether at tastings or in-store, mums keep telling us the same thing:

“My kids love the Blood Cleansing Pink Happy Kraut!” 💕

Is it the beautiful pink colour?
Is it the fun name?
Or is it simply because it tastes so good?

Whatever the reason, we’re delighted that children are enjoying a food that’s naturally packed with goodness.

Unlike many fermented foods, our krauts are gentle on little tummies, full of flavour, and made with real, nourishing ingredients. And let’s be honest… many little girls absolutely adore anything pink! 💖

If you’re looking for a simple way to support your child’s gut health, start slowly by adding a small spoonful alongside their favourite meals. It’s an easy, delicious way to introduce beneficial fermented foods into their diet.

🌸 Healthy gut, happy child, happy mum.

Have your children tried our Pink Happy Kraut yet? We’d love to hear what they think! 💕
