The opening of the new Harris Farm Market at Round Corner Dural on the 26th February unfortunately coincided with Hills Shire Council doing works on the road outside. This caused a massive traffic jam along Kenthurst Road. Fortunately Harris Farm had employed car park marshalls to try to ease the problem as they had expected higher patronage on their opening day.
Having the entrance to Harris Farm on the roundabout itself is not ideal. Shopping outside of peak times will make parking easier.
The inside of the store is bigger than you think. One of the benefits to locals is the vast selection of specialty goods, many of which were not available locally before. For those of us who travelled to Cherrybrook or further buy these specialty products, this is a real saving in time and travel costs.
There is also a great selection of fresh fish, poultry and meats, ready made meals, freshly baked breads, dairy, delicatessen and smallgoods – the list goes on. For those residents who are vegan or have other dietary requirements, the selections are really good. They also have a good selection of “imperfect fruits and vegetables” at very reasonable prices.
Judging by the crowd shopping and perusing the day I visited, this addition to the selection of shops at Dural is just what the community wanted.
Harris Farm Market is located at 7-9 Kenthurst Road and is open 7am-9pm seven days a week.
