Ryan’s Grocery

Ryan’s Grocery was born from the need to find organic meats and gluten-free produce after founders Sebastian and Wendy Chia learnt about their son Ryan’s intolerance to dairy products, gluten, nuts, soy, egg and yeast. The couple roamed the farms and farmer’s markets of Australia to find small-batch specialist producers to support a community of customers with intolerances.

Ryan’s Grocery’s full-service butchery carries a comprehensive range of grass-fed organic beef, grain-fed beef, free-range pork, organic and premium chicken, organic lamb and other value-added meat products (sausages, patties, mince etc).

Highlights include Avlaki pure extra virgin olive oils bottled fresh after milling, unfiltered and unblended; Honest to Goodness pasta choices have delicious natural flavour, are easy to cook with no added starch, vegetable gum or preservatives, and suitable for vegan diets; 100% pure Jarrah Honey has low glucose levels, a fully embodied nutty malt flavour, is antibacterial and antifungal; OraSì drinks are plant-based (made from soy and rice), GMO-free, transparently sustainable, gluten and lactose-free, thus suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
