LITTLE FARMS

Loved by expats and locals alike, this online grocer offers a wide selection of fresh, all-natural produce on its newly revamped website that’s now easier and faster to navigate. With helpful website features such as product substituti­ons and wish lists, you’ll be adding items from the variety of groceries in no time. For your online groceries, you can also choose to shop by product categories, or even by specific diets.

Crowd favourites include ready-to-eat avocados, daily baked sourdough bread and fresh free-range chicken and pork from Australia. There’s also a wide range for the diet-conscious, (including gluten-free and keto), organic wine and cheese (both dairy and plant-based) and an extensive kids’ range of easy-to-prepare meals. What’s more, check out Little Farms’ carefully sourced meat range, including grass-fed, free-range, and organic options, including home-made sausages, glutenfree schnitzels, chicken cordon bleu and lamb shashliks.

Delivery is free when you order $100 and above, and same-day delivery is available when you place your order before 10am. For a limited time only, receive a free jute bag when you spend over $200!

If you’re shopping in store, check out Little Farms Bistro at Katong Point and Little Farms Café at Valley Point for wholesome, all-day-dining grub! Fan favourites include the smashed avocado on toast, which uses perfectly ripened Australian avocados from the fresh produce section of the supermarke­t.

OPENTASTE

This online platform acts as a “global farmer’s market”, giving consumers in Singapore the opportunit­y to shop everything from coconuts from Thailand to pasta from Italy, alongside grass-fed Australian beef cuts and the makings of a charcuteri­e board straight from Spain. What’s more, the products are sold at a wholesale rate.

Though the site doesn’t offer every single item you’d need in your daily life (you’ll still have to order your bulk toilet paper elsewhere!), the website does have a broad range of fresh, perishable products, both organic and non-organic, at hard-to-resist prices.

After your order is placed, OpenTaste collects the products from producers worldwide. Once in Singapore, each customer’s order is repacked at a collection centre before delivery. Your order is delivered to your doorstep within 36 hours of placing your order.

Premium members (from $29.99 per year) get unlimited free delivery on all orders over $49, plus a two percent reward on all purchases and two free samples. For non-premium members, delivery is free on orders with bulk items over $150 and orders without bulk items over $49. Smaller orders cost between $4.95 to $6.95 to deliver; refer to the online store for more details.
