Peter has worked in the food industry for over 25 years, the last seven as owner of Granny Smith Natural Food Market in Turramurra. Peter recognises the importance of quality farming to the protection of our environment: water use, soil fertility and a diverse farming economy.  Very committed to Slow Food’s philosophy of taking “the bigger picture” into account, he isn’t just a certified organic retailer but also actively sources quality local products that may not necessarily be organic.

Peter believes very strongly in protecting our food supply: the local farmland that produces so much of Sydney’s food, a diverse environment of small and specialist suppliers, manufacturers and retailers and a network of small, local shopping centres throughout the metropolis.  He is greatly concerned by the increasing concentration of our food supply into the two large supermarket chains.
