Farro - the fresh food market - is a revolutionary concept in food shopping for Auckland. An everyday food market where you can call in for the basics, such as butter, milk and potatoes, and pay no more than at a supermarket, or find something special for a memorable lunch or dinner.

There are genuine weekly specials for meat, grocery or vegetables; you can buy fresh fish and good wine; everything you need for a modest weekday dinner, or that special dinner where you go the extra distance. All the staff at Farro's are keen foodies and love to help, you can ask them anything and they will do their best.

Value for money is a core principal with Farro's owners James and Janene Draper. Margins are much lower than many other stores, compare prices and you will see this principal in action. Stuck for a meal idea? Every week Farro's features an easy to follow dinner menu prepared by a top chef, such as Ray McVinnie. All the ingredients are in-store, so your dilemma is solved.

Farro Fresh Foods has generous parking, great coffee to enjoy as you choose your food and a relaxed atmosphere to make an enjoyable outing. Farro's are open:

• 8.00am - 6.30pm Monday to Saturday
• 9.00am - 6.00pm Sundays

Prime Foods NZ Ltd was established in 1994 and began producing small amounts of the premium brand PRIME SMOKE Salmon for a limited number of outlets. The goal for the new company was ambitious: "to produce the finest smoked salmon and seafood products available anywhere in the world". PRIME SMOKE salmon is sourced from the crystal clear waters of Stewart Island. The export-licensed factory is based in the township of Hororata, Canterbury, close to the Southern Alps. Prime Foods Ltd has grown steadily and the PRIME SMOKE brand is now available throughout NZ and exported to premium restaurants, hotels and food stores around the world.

PRIME SMOKE cold smoked salmon is tenderly marinated using a traditional Scottish recipe from the 1950's, then smoked using native hardwoods, to produce the perfect fusion of flavour and tenderness. Hot smoked salmon is also marinated and smoked, then gently roasted to ensure a unique delicate taste; unlike other salmon brands PRIME SMOKE Salmon is more savory than sweet.

Nutritionists recommend we eat fish twice a week or more. Salmon is a rich source of vitamins A and D, as well as Omega 3 fatty acids which are widely promoted as a preventative against heart disease. Omega 3 can lower blood cholesterol levels, but most importantly reduces the tendency of blood to clot -- vital in the prevention of heart disease.

For a great lunch nothing beats a toasted bagel with cream cheese, PRIME SMOKE Salmon, capers, and salt & pepper. For breakfast poach or scramble eggs, wilt some spinach leaves, and serve PRIME SMOKE Salmon slices, egg and spinach on toasted rye or good bread.

Make fabulous sandwiches, rolls, wraps or crepes. Add to an antipasto plate with crusty bread. Toss through a green salad with avocado, croutons, parmesan shavings and vinaigrette.
