This region in Sydney's west has everything you need to live well — from locally grown produce to a fresh cut flowers.
Shopping local has become much more than a passing trend — it's a way of life for many Sydneysiders. You may not get overly excited by having a go-to fruit and veg stand, flower shop or a spa in your neighbourhood, but they're the things that you use and support week after week. And if you live in or near Castle Hill, you already have 'em all.
To help make your next local shopping adventure successful, we've teamed up with American Express to put together this list of Castle Hill favourites. Whether it's for locally sourced produce, top-notch mani pedis or a bouquet of flowers for your loved one, you can shop small at these businesses with your Amex Card.

Castle Mall’s Northwest Growers is a local go-to for the freshest fruit and vegetables around town. Owners and brothers Peter and John source most of the fruit from their nearby family farm and orchard — including stone fruits like peaches, nectarines, plums and figs. And the veg is also sourced locally in Windsor and Galston. The offering is brought in fresh from the farm each day and is among the best you can get. Alongside the fresh stuff, there are family made jams and other smallgoods up for grabs, too.
