We recommend picking up your fruit and veggies from Sam's Farm Fresh Fruit and Veg, located on Middleton Rd, Cottonval. Owner Sam Giacca is a local legend and is loved by all. His ramshackle greengrocer is a throw back to yesteryear with it wooden crates, hessian bags and is piled high with local produce grown by local farmers.
Pick up fresh apple juice and the best slice of apple pie you will have ever tasted from Sutton's Juice Factory Cidery & Cafe. Just beside the New England highway and diagonally opposite The Big Apple is a bright pink sign saying Sutton’s Juice Factory & Cidery & Café, open seven days. Drive in to the old packing shed which, from the outside, gives no clue as to what may be found on the other side of the door.
