FRESH PRODUCE - Advice for growers

The Green Valley Grocer aims to supply local people with as much locally grown produce as possible.

As well as exploring large scale sources of fruit and veg in the West Yorkshire area, we would like to encourage our customers to “crop for the shop” as well as growing their own food.

We are looking for supplies of;

Potatoes, carrots, broccoli, lettuce, radish, rocket, spring onions, shallots, cabbage, beetroot, garlic, peas, beans, pumpkins, squashes. Blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, gooseberries, bilberries, redcurrants, blackcurrants, plums, damsons, greengages, apples, pears, rhubarb ........

Guidelines

• Please always make contact with us in person, by phone or email before you bring produce in. This will enable us to rotate stock effectively and avoids disappointment if we are unable to take your produce.
• Please prepare your produce so that it is attractive to customers - we don’t expect it to be squeaky clean, but it is worth weeding out the slugs and twigs !
• Please avoid bringing produce on Friday or Saturday unless by prior arrangement. We are simply too busy on those days to be able to give you, and your produce, our attention !
• We generally offer around half the retail price for produce, which is the same as we pay at market.
