Where Does Our Veg Come From?
We grow a lot of seasonal veg ourselves in the minimum till market garden we rent in Prion, outside Denbigh in North Wales. Although we aren’t organically certified, we do grow using organic methods. We also use permaculture for inspiration where we can. Read our blog to find out what we’re growing at the moment.
We’re on the look-out for local suppliers who grow without chemicals (fertilisers, herbicides and pesticides) and would love to work with more growers in North Wales. Please get in touch to discuss supplying to us.
To ensure a good range of organic produce we also buy in from our fantastic wholesalers Organic North. They are based in Manchester and deliver to us 1-2 times a week, bringing produce from organic farms all over the UK and beyond. We do not buy any produce that is flown in to the UK.

Who We Are
Chris and Liz Kameen moved to North Wales in 2017 and took on a local veg box business in 2018. From there we have gone on to establish The Vale Grocer as the place to come for seasonal produce in the Denbigh area.
We want everyone local to us in North Wales to be able to access fresh produce grown without chemicals. From our own experience we know that the better the veg tastes, the more of it we want to eat. And the longer it keeps, the less is wasted.
Chris and Liz are on a mission to help more people regularly eat 30 plants a week, which many experts believe has a direct link to improved health. We also want to see a reduction in the consumption of ultra-processed food.
We love working with other small businesses that are also producing great food so we’re really excited about other opportunities that may arise in the future to enable us to champion more of these businesses. Denbigh Farmers Market is a brilliant way to showcase some of the amazing food available from local producers.
What Do Our Customers Say?
‘The fruit and veg from The Vale Grocer is outstanding! I won’t go anywhere else
for my fruit and veg now, I love buying tasty local, organic produce that doesn’t
come wrapped in plastic!’
‘I just thought I’d drop you a line to say that I’m so pleased with your produce and service. The quality is outstanding and the variety of veg and fruit is spot on. Also handy that you supply cupboard goods etc. I’ve even started cooking more from scratch which I stopped doing after the kids grew up and left the nest.’
‘We have been getting the veg box from Liz and Chris for almost 2 years now and love it, so much so that we recently added a fruit box onto our order. It’s such a relief to know where it’s come from and the effort that they put in on our behalf to ensure it’s responsibly sourced or even home grown! A great service run by lovely people!’
