Farro Grey Lynn

I’ve been shopping at Farro for a number of years, and it’s always been a problem, but just seems to be getting worse - with sparrow birds everywhere, they are mostly in the fresh bread section, any fresh produce that isn’t directly in the fridge/cooled area always has a number of fruit flies, and today just normal flies also, I went to grab a handful of lemons, but they were covered in flies. It’s only a matter of time before there are rats.nThe place just feels unhygienic now. You visit farro over the other major chains to get a better experience, and to select a higher quality of produce, but you would never see a single fly, bug or bird in one of the other supermarkets.

Always beautifully set up, great deals and fresh produce. Staff are always more than happy to help, with smiles. Affordable quality, perfect.

Bought a beef pastrami roll, an arancini and two Portuguese tarts for lunch today from the Grey Lynn store. The worst fattiest pastrami I have ever seen. The so called porcini truffle arancini was very ordinary. And the Portuguese tarts … I don’t think that they know what the real ones in Europe taste like. Hugely overpriced very ordinary ready to go food.

Farro has the freshest and best quality veges, and at times it's cheaper than the supermarket. They stock many specialist products like duck and steamed buns..... The wine selection is very good, and I prefer their rose selection to supermarkets. The store has a farmers market, community feel. They offer fresh rolls, salads and coffee. I only buy deli meats from here as the quality is better than supermarket brands. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Nice products and a great range of frozen meals, great cheeses, fish and meat. Love the freshly squeezed orange juice too. Expensive but products a great. Lots of goodies you won't find in the average supermarket.
