Supplying Fruit and Veg has been in Sean Connolly’s family since 1964 when his Grandfather and Grandmother first started their grocery business in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire They eventually moved their greengrocers business to Newark in Nottinghamshire. Years later, Sean continued the fruit and veg family tradition as The Northampton Grocer. As they say, it must be in the blood.
Scotland's biggest box scheme operator, in 2011 Macleod Organics began operating from Lowes Fruit Farm in addition to their main Ardersier base in the Highlands, and took on the customer base of now-closed Damhead organic farm in Edinburgh. This has expanded their deliveries area to include the central belt, as well as a wide area of the Highlands, Inverness and Nairn. Working towards sourcing all their fruit and vegetables from organic Scottish soil, Macleod’s target is, impressively, currently 90 per cent fulfilled. You can request a whole host of other items to be popped in your vegetable box, from organic farm haggis to fish to totally degradable refuse sacks.
