🌱🚜 Exciting News from Paterson’s Fruit & Vegetables! 🚜🌱

Today I had the pleasure of spending time with Jim, Kim and Tom, three fantastic local growers who will soon be supplying us with fresh produce straight from their farm.

What makes this even more exciting is that they grow to organic standards, and as production increases, they’ll soon be supplying us with enough produce on a daily basis to make a real difference to what we offer our customers.

🥕🥬 Imagine receiving fruit and vegetables that are often less than 12–24 hours from harvest! It doesn’t get much fresher than that.

As a Locally-based business, we’re incredibly proud to be working with growers right on our doorstep. Not only does this mean fresher produce, but it also helps us dramatically reduce food miles, support local agriculture, and keep more of our spending within our local community.

There’s something special about knowing exactly where your food comes from and being able to shake the hands of the people who grow it.

We’re genuinely excited about this partnership and can’t wait to start bringing this amazing local produce to our customers over the coming months.

🌱 Fresh. Local. Sustainable.
📍 Grown near Lockerbie
🚛 Reduced food miles
🥕 Harvested one day, delivered the next

Watch this space—there’s plenty more to come! 🙌

🚚 We’re Hiring – Full-Time Delivery Driver 🚚

As a lot of you will know Driver Mike has left and is away to work with his son back on the railways where he has done for many years. I know a lot of my customers are sad to see Mike leave but we wish him all the best going forward and hope to see him again in the future out and about. Thanks Mike it’s been a pleasure working with yourself.

So now Paterson’s Fruit & Vegetables are looking for a reliable, friendly delivery driver to join our family-run team!

🕕 Hours: Around 30 hours per week, starting at 6am and finishing around 11–12pm. It’s job and knock, so some days you’ll be finished early and others may run a little later.
📅 Days: Saturdays are a must (it’s one of our busiest days!), but you’ll have a day off during the week. This position is ready for immediate start.

We’re looking for someone who:
✅ Ensures timely deliveries to our customers
✅ Keeps the van clean and tidy, inside and out – we’re a fresh produce company, so cleanliness is essential!
✅ Is friendly, polite, and happy to chat with customers on their route
✅ Can work well both in a team and independently

If you take pride in your work, enjoy early starts, and like being out on the road delivering quality local produce, we’d love to hear from you!
