OUR FRUIT & VEGETABLE GROWERS
Meet Frank
Introducing Frank, our fruit and veg buyer located at the Melbourne Fruit and Vegetable Market in Epping.
Frank rises very early in the morning to source the freshest fruit and veg straight from the growers.
Around 5 am, your fruit and veg is gently packed into recyclable cardboard boxes and paper bags. Frank then heads to our depot where the Milko eagerly awaits the precious cargo to deliver that afternoon, straight to your door.
Luckily, Frank understands the importance of being at the market every day. He ensures seasonality and freshness meaning you receive nothing but high quality, premium grade fruit and veg.
Thanks Frank!
