The Modern Greengrocer was established in 2016 by locals, Steve Golding and Joe Turner.
Steve is a second generation Greengrocer with over 40 years experience in the business.
He has previously owned successful shops in Harlow and Stansted, and his stall in Dunmow. Across these years, Steve has gained an unrivalled knowledge of the industry and developed a great talent for product buying – a key skill in order to achieve the best products at the most competitive prices for our customers. Steve has supplied both retail and wholesale customers.
Joe learnt the trade from Steve over several years and was instrumental in setting up The Modern Greengrocer. Joe has since moved on to pastures new.
Steve has now been joined by his wife Shirley in their new premises based at Priors Hall Farm, Lindsell and have just celebrated their first successful year there.
We at The Modern Greengrocer wanted to create a top class alternative option for our customers who want to shop local and support local Essex businesses, but maybe do not have the time to visit the high street. We truly believe in supporting local businesses and the importance of the high street to the heritage of our country but realised, that in order for it to survive, it needed to evolve..
At The Modern Greengrocer we pride ourselves on our 5 Core Principles:
Fresh Produce
Quality and freshness is paramount to what we do and we purchase our produce 6 nights a week at Spitalfields market to ensure this.
Responsibly sourced
As far as possible we support local Essex farmers and producers and believe strongly in seasonal produce.
Competitively priced
Quality costs but it shouldn’t cost the earth. All our products are competitively priced and we guarantee it’s cheaper than you might think!
Conveniently supplied
We all live hectic lives but why should that affect the quality of our produce. Order online and sit back and wait for a delicious box of produce to arrive at your door.
Traditional Experience
Although it’s a modern concept, the traditional service shouldn’t be affected and we believe it should feel just like it did when your mum bought from the local market stall.
