The Simple Market

The Simple Market is an organic and natural neighbourhood grocer serving Adelaide shoppers with a strong focus on certified organic food. Its fresh produce range includes Australian-grown fruit and vegetables, sourced mostly from South Australian farmers, with the store stating that its produce is free from synthetic chemicals. It also stocks whole foods, natural groceries and gourmet pantry goods, making it a useful stop for everyday shopping as well as more considered food choices.

The chilled section covers organic yoghurts, cheeses, dips, drinks and fermented products, while the broader grocery range is described as natural, organic and additive-free. The website also features recipes built around the store’s ingredients, including a gluten-free Golden Harvest Salad using produce and pantry staples such as curly kale, butternut pumpkin, chickpeas, quinoa and pumpkin seeds. These recipes offer a practical way to use what is available rather than presenting the shop as a specialist destination for one particular cuisine.

The store’s story is closely tied to simple living and relationships with local suppliers. The business began in July 2017 after an old Mile End building, formerly a greengrocer from 1955 to 1973, was renovated with its original character retained. The team says it selects products and producers carefully, taking time to understand their farming and making practices. Its acknowledgement of South Australian organic and biodynamic farmers is central to the way the store presents itself.

The Simple Market describes itself as more than a shop: a gathering place for people interested in food, wellbeing and the impact of their choices. Its community offering includes simple-living workshops and classes, recipes and other resources. It should suit anyone looking for certified organic produce, additive-free groceries or a more transparent approach to food shopping, whether buying a few fresh ingredients or filling the pantry. The supplied store details place it on Henley Beach Road in Mile End, while the venue is listed for Henley Beach, Adelaide. It has a 4.8 Google rating from 118 reviews.
