Carrick Greengrocers is helping to rebuild local food economies

We believe that changing the way we produce and distribute food is fundamental to solving the world’s most pressing social and ecological problems.

About Carrick Greengrocers

Carrick Greengrocers is a community-owned greengrocer established by people who live in, work in, or are otherwise passionate about Carrickfergus. We want to enrich the lives of people in Carrickfergus through nutrient-rich, locally sourced and in season food.

We aim to trade in a way that supports a sustainable environment and economy. We are more than just a greengrocer – we are a welcoming hub in the town centre that provides opportunities for learning, community interaction and engagement.

All our profits are directed back into the business and into other local initiatives aimed at benefiting the Carrickfergus community.

The benefits of buying local

Local food supports local economies. Food grown in the local community supports local jobs and encourages variety in our diets. It also requires less transportation, so it's fresher and has a smaller environmental footprint.
