Buying healthy: Raeward Fresh Tower Junction
We all know how important it is to eat a healthy balanced diet, covering the four main food groups, to give us the nutrients we need for our physical and mental wellbeing.
Eating a variety of foods, vegetables and fruits, grain foods, milk and milk products, and a group of foods consisting of legumes, nuts, seeds, fish and other seafood, eggs, poultry, and/or red meat – helps us both to maintain a healthy body weight and to prevent the onset of health conditions.
Right now buying healthy is not always easy. We appreciate businesses which understand how much the cost of living has increased, and are doing their best to help consumers continue to make healthy food choices.
Raeward Fresh at Tower Junction specialises in bringing customers a great range of fresh fruit, vegetables, meat,
and cooking essentials, from local and national growers and producers, at affordable prices.
As owners Ross and Pip Freeman (pictured) say “This is food we all should be eating – fresh, nourishing food avoiding as much as possible processed goods with lower nutritional value and higher calories. We want our customers to be able to eat really well. So our commitment and passion is to stock the freshest, best quality products.”
In this indoor farmers’ market-style store all dietary requirements are catered for, from vegetarian and vegan, to keto, and gluten-free. There are beautiful cheeses for platters, while the in-store butchers truly add value to their meat products with their chef-like creations. Especially popular are the beef mignons stuffed with garlic, Camembert cheese, and spices. “You can have a restaurant-style meal at home, courtesy of Raeward Fresh,” say Ross and Pip.
Since taking over the spacious store nearly a year ago, the Freemans have made a number of changes to create a welcoming environment and say they will continue to expand their offerings of specialty food and groceries.
“We have a very helpful team of staff here, some of whom have been with the store for more than 10 years, and have a deep knowledge of our products. There is really easy access to parking, and to the great selection of other specialty shops at Tower Junction”.
