Terry’s fruit and veg shop
Saturday, January 23rd, 2010
Many of us are regular and longstanding customers of the Lower Redland Road ‘Redland Fruitery’ which is a family-run greengrocery that has served Redland for some 45 years. Sadly for us, Terry is retiring and the shop ceases trading on 27 January. We will all miss the shop enormously. Not only is it a shop where you can buy local and organic fruit and veg with zero packaging, it is also a place of conversation and friendship, like going into someones front room rather than facing them across a counter. Maybe a greengrocer will be re-established once the reburbishment is done – who knows. In the meantime, there is Earthbound on Abbotsford Road (just off Cotham Hill near the Launderette) which does local organic, there is a fruit and veg stall in Woollies market, and there is the fortnightly farmers market. Also, susred is part of a new venture called The Community Farm. So if you want to support local seasonal production then you might like to consider a regular veg box from The Community Farm – delivery is early on Thursday mornings to your house. The booking is currently via The Better Food Company – either online (its quite easy) or you can phone and speak to a human being.
