We’re delighted to be short-listed for the Leeds Guide Retail Therapy Awards 2009 in the Health and Wellbeing category. This category “aims to honour those who make us feel beautiful from the inside out”. Well, we would like to think that’s us!
As an independent organic, local Yorkshire produce and health food store we believe we can make you feel truly beautiful in a range of ways – our organic fruit and veg, local meats and wide range of supplements and minerals will certainly make you feel better on the inside (and maybe some of our home-made cake!). For the truly healthy our sports supplements will help boost your health and fitness. Our bodycare ranges (including Dr. Hauschka, Elysambre, JASON and Barefoot Botanicals) not only make you look gorgeous but protect and repair your skin. Our environmentally friendly household goods from Ecover will even make the planet a more beautiful place! Finally our resident therapist will certainly make you feel fantastic in our therapy room, with treatments such as our Relaxing Package (prescription facial and full body massage), waxing, Swedish full body massage, plus lots more
We are a Yorkshire family bringing that classic Yorkshire life – knowing the providers of fresh, local produce by name – to the city of Leeds, with a community-focused ethos. We would be very grateful if you would consider us for the Health and Wellbeing category:

We have a fantastic new local supplier of duck, quail and hen eggs. So on a lazy Sunday morning I thought I’d try Church View Farm’s duck eggs for breakfast, as I had been promised they were a far better choice for brekkie.
Some toasted fresh bread from Howards Bakery of Harrogate.
Fortunately I wasn’t lied to and these are genuinely far better for breakfast. I can’t imagine having anything but duck eggs on toast from now on!
And breakfast for boys was Paxtons of Harrogate bacon sandwich!
Apparently duck eggs also give amazing results in baking and a sponge cake made with duck eggs has to be tried to be believed!
Everything on this page is available in store at Millies. And if you head to the deli take-away counter, we’ll even prepare it for you!
