The best locally grown fruit and vegetables

There is a wealth of local growers here in the South West and we source as much as we can from the area. Most of our farmers are within 20 miles of Torquay. Local produce is always clearly marked on our price lists so you in turn can highlight this to your customers
Our local farms provide Devon’s finest broccoli, leeks, swede, courgettes, cauliflower, brussel sprouts and just about every variety of cabbage you could want. We also source local butternut squash and mixed squash which includes the very popular crown prince or blue pumpkin.

Fresh From Local Growers

Staples aside, we stock local romanesque cauliflower, purple sprouting, black russian kale and candy and golden beetroot. As you can see there are always great options of local vegetables to put on your specials board.
Fantastic quality local fruit is available seasonally and during the summer we source excellent cherries as well as various lettuces, watercress, parsley and a selection of herbs.

Our local potato grower provides us year-round with a good all-rounder (marfona, estima or wilja) as well as a good roasting & chipping potato (generally piper or markies).

We use an excellent mushroom grower from Dawlish where we buy nearly all our wild mushrooms. We have a full range of outstanding quality herbs and micro leaf herbs which must be tried. These can be pre-ordered to guarantee you receive the special mix you require.

Global produce and exotics

“We've been working with Frank Mann for nearly 15 years, and they've truly become a cornerstone of our supply chain at Roots and Vines. As a fruit and veg wholesaler based in Torquay, they deliver to us six days a week and have always been incredibly reliable. Their pricing is consistently competitive, and the quality of their produce is exceptional—it's like having a second pair of eyes that we trust completely. One ofthe best things about working with them is that you’re dealing with individuals who really understand our business. Unlike larger companies where you might end up talking to a whole telesales department, with Frank Mann, it's personal and that makes a world of difference. On the rare occasion something isn't perfect, they’re quick to put it right, which is just another reason they stand head and shoulders above the rest.”
