| About Us |
We are a family run business
established in the 1940's when
my grandfather Leslie Shepherd
started selling his own grown
farm produce at Swansea Market.
Sadly he died when he was only
56 years old and his daughter
Beryl Shepherd now 'Beryl Dixon'
took over the running of the market
stall. Well nearly 70 years later
here we are setting up a website
for 'online shopping'. We have
seen many changes throughout
the years and have had our ups
and downs. We have gone from
counter service to self service,
pen and paper to electric till
and computer, from manual
scales to electric, pounds, shillings
and pence to decimalisation and
also most recently from pounds
and ounces to the controversial
kilo's and grams. We have had
the challenge of the supermarkets
of which many greengrocers have
sadly fallen, but proudly we are still
here to tell the tale. We pride ourselves
with fresh quality produce delivered
daily and locally sourced as much as
possible, continuity, and knowledgeable
friendly and experienced staff and
enjoy being part of the community.
We now run 2 shops in the Mumbles
area of Swansea which have been
established for over 20 years as well
as the market stall in Swansea where
we originally started. We supply and
deliver fresh produce to many hotels,
restaurants and offices and we are
also proud to be part of the 'Healthy
Schools' programs where we deliver
fresh fruit to many Schools in the
Swansea and outer Swansea areas
for the school tuck shop schemes.
For special occasions fruit baskets
are available starting at only £15 and
deliveries can be made throughout
Swansea and to the surrounding area.
The Choice is Yours also takes business
orders, supplies school fruit tuck shops
and delivers every Wednesday to the
Gower area. For more information
please take a look at our newly designed
website (link above). |
