Ruffage Wholefoods

Bardon

If you’re looking for yummy and healthy local food, check out Ruffage Wholefoods in Bardon. Ruffage Wholefoods is all about making it easy for people to increase vegetables and wholefood consumption. 

Glyn Wood is the owner of Ruffage Wholefoods, which opened in December 2022. He has quickly grown a loyal following for his tasty and fresh salads, muffins, and soups.  

What started as a market stall and testing at the Milton Markets soon became a shop, now offering a range of daily salads (normally 4-6 salads available each day), homebaked muffins (a fresh sweet and savoury option each day – all gluten-free), fresh fruit salad, vegetable-based soups (2-3 each day – no meat), and a variety of cold drinks, including cold-pressed juices. 

Previously Glyn worked for 41 years in the building and construction industry – but in 2022 decided he wanted to do something different, especially after his sister became very sick with covid. He had always dreamt of having a fruit and vege shop. His son Angus and his wife Carla support him in the business.  

The inspiration for his recipes mostly comes from Yotam Ottolenghi, the famous Israeli-British chef and restaurateur, but he also creates his own recipes too. All the recipes have as little processing involved as possible.  

Glyn is very particular about sourcing local and Australian ingredients only, and wherever possible no preservatives are used and he avoids sulfates. He sources organic products as a preference eg. organic blueberries from near Toowoomba.  

Ruffage Wholefoods is open Tuesdays to Saturdays. Tues-Fri from 9am-3.30pm; and Sat from 9am-2pm. And Glyn can also cater for events and BBQs, supplying his tasty and fresh food for your event. Give him a call!
