The beautiful setting of Carshalton Village has been graced with a quality greengrocer, bringing a fantastic selection of fresh, local produce back to the heart of the community
When Carshalton's long-standing greengrocer Country Harvest closed due to rent increases it left a huge hole in the High Street. Without a supply of fresh, local produce in our community there was definitely something vital missing.
"Carshalton is such a stunning place with a real villagey feel, it was so sad to see a greengrocer close in the heart of the High Street," said Carshalton Mum Renee Davis. "People in Carshalton understand the importance of fresh, local food and this was somewhere local where families could buy it."
Many local residents were also discovering the joys of shopping locally and supporting our community. Carshalton High Street was beginning to flourish with the opening of popular independent shops like Calladoodles, Jude and the hugely successful new tea room Dotty’s Teahouse.
A jewel in Carshalton's crown
Fortunately, the gap in the market didn't last long as Carshalton Dad-of-three and seasoned food expert Ricky Scott spotted an ideal location for his high-end greengrocers, Rhubarb and Bramley.
With an impressive family background spanning 50 years in wholesale fruit and vegetables, serving top restaurants in Soho and Selfridges Food Hall amongst others, Ricky is perfectly placed to serve the local foodie community.
"My personal experience has been in fresh produce and I have covered all aspects from growing, catering, wholesale to retail," explains Ricky. "So with the knowledge I have accumulated over the past 10 years I am now looking to build a brand that is working with growers on producing the best products at value for money for its consumers."
