About
our company

Unlike most in the industry, we don’t boast a warehouse stacked full of produce waiting around to be sold.

In fact, ours is pretty empty and that’s just the way we like it!

Fewer suppliers than ever are prepared to walk the line in the young hours of the morning in this day and age, instead opting for the easier route by ordering over the telephone from major importers. We get it, it makes for a much easier life, but that’s not a real supplier.
