Continue to sell stale food as fresh, today stale rolls, last week quinces all rotten when cut. This is a frequent experience at the Bowral store, they clearly couldn’t care less.
Follow-up · These people are simply dishonest. Purchased bread today, didn’t feel fresh in the packet, asked the checkout person and she pointed to tomorrow’s date on the packet, which implied it was baked today. Got home , opened the bread , it was at least a day old and stale. They lie as a matter of policy and the dates on their produce are simply made up.
Follow-up · Update on previous. Took stale bread back , they exchanged it for a loaf equally stale , and again with tomorrow’s date. These people are shameless shysters
We have bought their milk in the glass bottles 3 times and all times it lasted no more than 3 days in the fridge , and it smells dreadful, when I mentioned it in store it fell on deaf ears . Their salad leave are miserable and fresh meat often above the safe fridde area
Disappointed as I expected fresh produce – Last week I bought two plastic containers of so called ‘sprout stack’ salad leaves. was home in about five minutes and immediately put them into the crisper in the fridge. Opened them the next day and had to through out more than half. This is not the first time I have had to put green produce in the bin from this shop. They have an automatic… Read more
water sprinker system to ‘freshen up’ greens that are going off. Is this a sell at all cost or do they really not care about their customers? Happily there is an excellent fruit and veg. shop in Mittagong where fresh means fresh This is my second negative review for this shop but I am tired of wasting money there.
PICK UP YOUR ACT HARRIS – 2 weeks ago I bought some packaged mixed lettuce leaves, on opening the next day the leaves were wet and mouldy and the smell was horrible, had to bin the whole lot. A similar experience with a punnet of strawberries. Last week I bought sliced watermelon, I cut it that night to eat, we all spat it out, literally, and the smell was so off my… Read more
husband had to dig a hole in the garden and bury the remainder b4 it stunk out our bin. Quite a few of my friends have had similar experiences in the last few months. We’ve all agreed it’s back to the fresh food people for all of us. Such a shame as I’v always loved HF.....time to pick up your act as we do have alternatives.!!!!!!
Flowers – Harris farm Bowral flowers have gone to the pack. Big money for inexperienced wrapping. Embarrassing to give flowers to intended recipient. Train your staff.
Fresh flower's beautiful – I cannot recommend highly enough Harris Farm Bowral Florist Dept ...Our daughter regularly visits from Sydney and aways with a magnificent bunch of fresh flowers in her arms.Only recently did I enquire "Where are these From ? She calls into Harris Farm Selects three or four bunches of white fresh blooms (knowing I love white flower's ) hands them… Read more · 1

Watch the Price – Today I took an 87 year old friend of mine shopping at Harris farm in Bowral NSW. He purchased Two boxes of chocolates as a present for the nurse at his local surgery. The shelf price was $12.98 per box. at the check out he was charged $ 19.98 rounded to $20.00 per box =$40.00 for the two Boxes. After pointing out that they just ripped my Old… Read more
Mate of for the sum of $14.00 they refunded the money.
Moral of this story Harris farm Bowral is a nice shop but.....WATCH THE SHELF PRICE VERSUS THE CHAGED PRICE !!!
amazing service – i was after the product maggie beer vino cotto, i called around and no one had it in stock, i finally called bowral store and i was put through to someone who worked in groceries. i cant remember the name but i think it was James or Jason but i could be wrong. i told him what i was after and that i needed two bottles. He looked for me and came… Read more · 1
back on the phone and my luck there was only two bottles left so i asked him to put it aside for me and that i would be there in an hour and a half he took my number down and hung up.
well it actually took me two hours to get there because of the weather conditions. when i arrived to the store i walked in from the back delivery area and straight way the same gentlemen on the phone walked up to me and greeted me and was wondering if i was the same lady who called earlier for the maggie beer bottle's (i guess it was obvious i wasn't from the area) i told him it was me and with out hesitation and with a friendly smile he took me to where he hid the bottles and was still offering more assistance.
where i'm from in Sydney its really rare to receive a service like that, i always find staff in a hurry and too busy to offer a good service, but that was not the case in the Bowral store at all. i looked around and observed the staff and there were friendly faces everywhere offering assistance to customers and it was a good atmosphere. and when i left the store i wasn't dreading the 1 1/2 to 2 hours drive back home but i was happy that i made the trip there and received great service by great staff.
i would really appreciate it if the store receives the feedback and are thanked for there hard work. most often staff only hear the negative and not the positive.
so once again thank you to the mystery man who works at Harris Farm Bowral for the great service you provided.
Fresh daily and good quality. Great hours of opening – Ensure you are given what you ask for. No home delivery for Southern Highlands? Great quality & fresh daily Shame when my nearly 18 yo son asked for radish - not part of his food experience - he was not sold radish, yet it was rung up as that. Male staff member said all of his fresh produce staff know their stock. He's happy to exchange but it means another 50 minute round car trip. Show details

Shopping heaven – Your newly expanded Bowral store is even better than before. It was always a pleasure to shop there, but now there are so many more products and varieties of goods on offer.

The bakery, fish shop, hot food, flowers, nuts, coffees and gourmet sauces and spices are fabulous, but best of all is the staff. Always happy and friendly and extremely helpful, they make shopping there a real pleasure.

Best food shopping in Bowral – I have shopped at Harris Farm ever since it opened in Bowral. Such a fantastic choice of high quality food - especially the coffee selection and now the range of teas. Unequalled display of fresh fruit and vegetables. Show details
The expanded location – I enjoy shopping at Bowral Harris Farm. Great selection of fresh quality foods. However the ladies bathroom required attention. I informed an employee, using this facility, and asked if she could please relay this need to the appropriate person. Show details
Fabulous store – Staff really helpful. Wide range of fresh produce , fresh bread and wonderful cheeses. A good all round shopping experience Show details
Great shopping experience – Shopping there makes you fill to buy more than you really need. Excellent variety of items and superb displays makes an enjoyable shopping. Show details
Would be 5 stars if there was more parking – This is a great store, with an excellent range, especially since the recent expansion. But it has become too popular - parking is quite inadequate on busy days and the queues at the checkouts can be longer than Aldi on weekends. Show details
Fresh! – I only get to Bowral every six to eight weeks, after a 90 minute drive, so when I get there it is a treat. Fresh fruit, fresh veg, fresh meat, fresh bread, everything fresh and lovely. I'm loving the prepared meals, as I'm often on my way home when I drop in, and it's always a late dinner that night.. the meals are yum. The new look store is… Read more
even better than before. Loving the changes.
Love the staff for their friendliness, I'm not there often enough to be "known", but everyone is great.

Doing more and more shopping at this store – Since the extension /renovations I find I am doing increasingly more shopping at this store. It has a great selection of cheeses,meats, Fruit & Vegies and grocery items. If you ask the staff for a particular item they will endeavour to source it for you. The fruit and vegetable are always fresh and I also like the bumpy/lumpy ones that come in the… Read more
green bags!! Well done for this. Fish on Fridays, and fresh bread and pastries everyday, and not forgetting the flowers.Great shop, oh and the Jersey milk. I only have one issue, that is the amount of water that sprays down onto the green vegetables , it stays on the items and hastens the deterioration of these items.
Love the Imperfect Picks Range – On top of that love the way this company prioritises freshness, and the free range products as well as the unhomogenised dairy range. Would be awesome of they still undercut Woolies and Coles by selling Bonsoy for $4.00 a carton (or $24 a case). Show details
