Greenies Real Food

Greenies Real Food is a Darwin grocery shop focused on organic and naturally minded food, with an online store covering pantry essentials, meat, dairy, fresh produce and produce boxes. The business lists its shop at 12/48 Trower Road, Rapid Creek, although the directory listing places it under Cullen Bay. Shoppers can order online and choose between delivery and Click & Collect, making it useful for a regular food shop as well as for people looking for particular organic products.

The business says it aims to carry a broad selection of products and brands both in-store and online. If something is not already stocked, the team is happy to try to source it. Fresh fruit and vegetables arrive on Mondays and Fridays, and orders are packed with care around the quality and durability of the produce. Where necessary, substitutions may be made if the customer allows them. Dry goods can also be sent through Australia Post, while bulk orders for selected products can be arranged by contacting the shop about pricing and delivery.

Greenies Real Food grew from a small local-produce stall at Coolalinga Market, started in 1997 by Mal Green. His farming background and interest in natural farming led to further work in permaculture and biodynamic practices, while Ursula developed an interest in permaculture, biodynamics, natural medicine and healthy food. After years of selling at local markets and working with organic growers, the pair opened the shop in 2003 and gradually expanded its range in response to customer requests and new suppliers.

The shop continues to offer local organic growers, from backyard producers to farms, an opportunity to sell their fresh produce. That connection to local growers and the business's long history in Darwin give it a clear community focus. It suits shoppers seeking organic groceries, fresh produce or harder-to-find items, as well as households wanting the convenience of delivery or pickup. The website also provides opening times, contact details and delivery information for planning an order.
