Who We Are

James’ Fruit and Vegetables Ltd started trading in 1968 as Cath & Roland James, where we sold lettuces and tomatoes at Carlisle outdoor market before moving to Penrith indoor market, now Devonshire Arcade in around 1970. From the Arcade we moved to a shop in Burrowgate, Penrith where we traded from for nearly 30 years.

 

In the new millenium, with a new retail outlet at Cranston’s Cumbrian Food Hall in Penrith, we closed our shop to concentrate on the expanding market of wholesale around Cumbria.

 

Today we are Cumbria’s leading fresh produce specialist with over 250 regular customers all across the county, from Brampton to Workington and Longtown to Tebay.

OUR TEAM

We have grown considerably in the last 50 years, and we attribute this to our values:
Our knowledge of our produce, our reliability and our excellent customer service: We will always go the extra mile for our customers and we will always help you out of a tough spot.

We love our produce and we go as far as we can to make sure that what we buy is sourced as near to us as possible and is of the highest quality available.

A family run business for three generations, our passion for fresh produce is part of who we are, and our knowledge of our market is unrivalled.

After forty years of trading, we realise that a family is more than your relations.
Our team of dedicated staff are part of our family. Many of them with extensive experience in catering and retail, they share our love of fresh produce.
