CELEBRATING 10 YEARS:

MARKET ORGANICS THROUGH THE AGES

This year marks 10 years of Market Organics, a milestone that feels both big and deeply personal for so many people who have been part of the journey along the way.

What started as a single store in Rocklea has grown into nine stores across Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Each one has its own personality, shaped by the community around it, but all connected by the same intention: to make good food more accessible and create spaces that feel genuinely welcoming.

At the centre of it all, the Gelderblom Family.

From the very beginning, they built Market Organics on something simple but powerful: care. Care for the food, care for the people and care for the experience of every customer walking through the door. That approach has never wavered, even as the business has grown.

Over the past decade, there have been some incredible milestones. Each step forward has been thoughtful, not just about growth, but about continuing to serve the community in the best possible way. There have also been moments that tested that foundation.

The 2022 floods that impacted the Rocklea store were one of the most challenging chapters in the business’s history. But what stood out during that time wasn’t just the loss, it was the response.

Staff, suppliers and customers came together in a way that reflected just how much Market Organics had become part of people’s lives. That sense of community doesn’t happen by accident. It’s built over time, through consistency, trust and the way people are treated every single day.

And that comes back to Sam and Johan. They are the kind of people who lead quietly, with generosity and integrity. The kind of people who have always been willing to step in wherever needed, who genuinely care about their team and who have built something that extends far beyond the walls of each store. That culture is felt everywhere.

In the way staff show up for customers. In the relationships with suppliers who have grown alongside the business. In the familiar faces of customers who have been shopping with us for years, some since the very beginning. It’s in the small, everyday moments that make a place feel like more than just a shop.

“I’ve been shopping at Rocklea since the early days, it’s always felt like more than just a store. The team, the produce, the atmosphere… it’s something really special. Watching it grow over the years has been amazing.”

- Cathy, Long-time Rocklea Customer

Over the past 10 years, Market Organics has grown in so many ways, but the one constant has always been our customers.
