When the best local fresh food is right on your doorstep, why go further afield?

Local fresh food means being truly local

As fruit and vegetable wholesalers, we source our supplies from local producers because frankly, it’s the best we can get. You can be assured you’re buying excellent produce, often within hours of it being picked in the field. We’re confident you’ll be impressed by the quality and amazed at our prices. Sourcing close to home also helps us to support the local economy and keeps our carbon footprint low too.

Local supplier

We hand pick our local fresh food suppliers to make sure we work with the best. We’ve built up a relationship with our local fresh food suppliers and so know exactly where your food comes from, ensuring that what you buy from us is top quality, with a great price to match.

Local team

As a family business with strong roots in Cheshire, we believe in creating local jobs for local people. Many of our staff have been with us since the very beginning of Oliver Perry Ltd and so are a part of the family! It also means they also have vast knowledge of our local fresh food products and share our passion for providing the very best customer service.

Local community

As a family business we’re keen to be involved in our local community. We have strong relationships with local schools and sports teams to help promote an active lifestyle. And we often take part in charity events and offer raffle prizes to raise funds for good causes.

Local economy

We are proud to be able to support local people in local jobs. We believe in creating a financial support network across Cheshire – the hard-working farmers and growers we buy from coupled with the staff we employ, in turn go on to buy from other local shops and businesses. By working together we create a strong and sustainable local economy.

Undoubtedly local…

About us

We’ve always been passionate about bringing our customers the very best local produce. We source top-quality products from farmers and producers nearby – from milk and cream at Bidlea Dairy, just three miles away, to gravy and stocks from Essential Cuisine in Winsford.

Our relationships with these producers go back generations. This has placed Oliver Perry Ltd at the heart of the Cheshire countryside. From here, we supply produce from around the world, the local area, and straight from our own farm at Shanty Farm, Byley, CW10 9NG.

Bidlea Dairy

The Brown family has farmed here for over 40 years, raising their herd from just 20 cows to almost 1,000. Their Bidlea Girls – Holstein-Friesian cows – have won both National and European awards.

The cows eat the best home-grown feed from Cheshire and roam the farm’s green fields for most of the year. This happy, healthy life produces fresh milk that’s rich in protein and butter fat.

The best feed. The best welfare. The best milk. Simple really.

Bidlea Dairy is home to Bidlea Milk – perfect for brews, breakfast, baking, or a drink straight from the glass.

The Brown family has been dairy farming for three generations, with more to come. Few people love milk as much as they do. They’re passionate about the benefits of fresh, local milk, processed right here in Cheshire.

Shanty Farm

The Lowes family has harvested the fields at Byley for generations. We work closely with Graham and his sons, Sam and Tom, and we’re proud to offer their produce to our customers.

Our purpose-built distribution warehouse meets BRC accreditation standards and sits right on the farm. You can watch the Lowes family harvesting their crops from our warehouse. They harvest daily, so we can deliver to you the next day – you won’t find anything fresher or more local.

The Lowes family grows a wide range of root vegetables, brassicas, cabbages, and squash. They only harvest produce good enough to sell in their own shop, and we’re proud to be their only wholesaler.

As demand has grown, they’ve expanded their range to include purple and Romanesco cauliflower, courgette flowers, January King cabbage, and baby leeks – a particular favourite of Simon Radley at The Chester Grosvenor.

Yearly local produce:
Baby leeks, bunched carrots, courgette flowers, January King cabbage, purple cauliflower, red cabbage, Romanesco cauliflower, spring cabbage, white cabbage.

Woodlands Farm

Woodlands Farm covers around 27 acres near Knutsford, Cheshire. The Halman family has farmed in Cheshire for 51 years and is now into its fourth generation.

Oliver Perry Ltd and Roy Halman have worked together for many years. This long partnership lets us offer the finest outdoor-grown heritage tomatoes, rhubarb, leeks, and salad leaves — including lollo rosso, lollo biondi, oak leaf, cos, and flat lettuce.

The lettuce and rhubarb are picked fresh each morning and packed in the field ready for dispatch. We collect them from the farm at noon and deliver to you the next morning. Their produce is always first-rate, in both quality and consistency.

We take pride in our close relationships with our farmers and growers, many of whom have worked with us from day one. This gives us access to the best of their crops at the best prices.

Applebys dairy

We’re proud to now stock cheese from Appleby’s Dairy. Appleby’s make their cheese by hand at Hawkstone Abbey Farm in Shropshire. The Appleby family has been making cheese there since 1952. Their cheese has won awards, and cheese experts count it among the best of its kind in the country.

Appleby’s use milk from their own herd of cows. They make each cheese by hand, using traditional methods that have barely changed in decades. This care and attention gives the cheese its rich, full flavour. It’s a world away from mass-produced cheese, and we think you’ll taste the difference.

We’ll stock a range of Appleby’s cheeses, so there’s something to suit every taste and occasion. We store and handle each cheese with care, so it reaches you in the best condition. If you’re not sure which cheese to choose, just ask us. We’re happy to help you find the right one.

As a fresh fruit and produce supplier, we always look for food we can trust and stand behind. Appleby’s cheese fits that standard perfectly. We’re delighted to bring it to our customers alongside our fruit and vegetables, so you can find great quality food all in one place.

Nurtured in Norfolk

Allan and Sue started growing Micro Cress back in 2009. As chefs themselves, their transition from one profession to another was brought about by the need for a more consistent and flavourful garnish for their dishes. They began growing Micro Herbs and Pea Shoots in a small greenhouse in their back garden and supplied the restaurant they worked in. Their experience has helped them tremendously in understanding the requirements of chefs.

Having successfully grown Microgreens for the use in the restaurant and receiving positive feedback, they were asked by a local wholesaler to grow in a larger volume. After noticing the demand for plant-based garnishes, Allan and Sue left their roles as chefs. This is when they invested their time and money into the business and ‘Nurtured in Norfolk’ was born.

Allan and Sue chose Micro Herbs that where strong in flavour and still looked appealing on the plate. Including varieties that are most popular because of their robust flavour.

‘Nurtured in Norfolk’ supply a range of Edible Flowers, Micro Cress, Pea Shoots, Edible Leaves, Bunched Herbs, Baby and Sea Vegetables in various colours and flavours. All together there are over 280 different products in the range. You can view the online catalogue here.

Burt’s Cheese

Burt’s Cheese began life in 2009, when Claire Burt started making cheese on her own kitchen table in Altrincham. She soon won Gold for her Blue Cheese at the International Cheese Show in Nantwich. That win gave her the confidence to turn her hobby into a full-time business. Today, Burt’s make their cheese at Bidlea Dairy in Holmes Chapel, right here in Cheshire.

Burt’s cheese is made in small batches by hand. Nothing is rushed, and nothing is mass-produced. Their best-known cheeses, Burt’s Blue and Drunken Burt, have picked up award after award. Once you try them, you’ll understand why.

Burt’s is a proper Cheshire business, and we love supporting cheesemakers on our doorstep. They even run cheese-making workshops, so customers can see how it’s all done. It’s this kind of passion that makes their cheese stand out.

We choose our suppliers carefully, and Burt’s cheese was an easy addition. It’s full of flavour, made with care, and backed by a great story. Add it to your next order – and don’t be afraid to ask us which one to try first.
