At Tamar Fresh, our commitment to being locally focused is at the heart of everything we do. We handpick our local fresh food suppliers, ensuring that we work with the best in the business. Our network of suppliers comes from the bountiful Tamar Valley, the lush South Hams, and the untamed landscapes of Dartmoor. These traditional heartlands are renowned for producing top-quality foods, and we have built strong relationships with our suppliers over the years. This means we know exactly where your food comes from, guaranteeing that what you buy from us is of the highest quality, with a price that matches.
As a family business deeply rooted in southeast Cornwall, we take pride in creating local jobs for local people. Many of our dedicated staff members have been with us since the very beginning of Tamar Fresh, and they are truly part of our family. Their extensive knowledge of our local fresh food products and their shared passion for providing exceptional customer service are invaluable assets to our business.
Community involvement is a core value for our family business. We actively engage with our local community by visiting schools and conducting cooking demonstrations and food tasting sessions. These activities help educate children about the importance of nutrition and the value of high-quality food. We also sponsor local rugby clubs and school sports days, promoting an active and healthy lifestyle. Additionally, we frequently participate in charity events and contribute raffle prizes to raise funds for good causes.
As one of Cornwall’s largest employers, we take pride in supporting local people through job opportunities. We believe in creating a strong financial support network across Devon and Cornwall. The hardworking farmers and growers we buy from, along with the staff we employ, in turn, contribute to the local economy by purchasing from other local shops and businesses. Together, we create a robust and sustainable local economy, strengthening the fabric of our communities.
By choosing Tamar Fresh, you not only enjoy the finest local produce but also actively participate in supporting local jobs, fostering community engagement, and promoting a thriving regional economy. We are proud to be your local food provider, and we remain dedicated to delivering exceptional quality and service that you can rely on. Join us in our commitment to building a stronger, more sustainable future for Devon and Cornwall.
Tamar Fresh is a name you can trust and we are committed to the highest standards. We are audited twice a year by the prestigious food standards consultants STS who are known for setting best practice and industry standards in food safety and hygiene.
STS look at every part of the business – our goods, ensuring that they are stored and rotated correctly, staff training, how we run our business, and all aspects of food preparation, overall hygiene of the premises and our production methods.
Not everyone in our trade is accredited in this way but for us, it makes complete sense – we work to the highest standards in any case, so we’re happy to be audited in order to offer our customers that reassurance. It is essential for some of our customers that we have this but to others it just offers peace of mind and the confidence that things are being done right!
