We are a community benefit society formed to keep a thriving greengrocer in Haddenham, Buckinghamshire. We have officially owned the business on behalf of the community since 25 September 2023.
Blooming Fruity in Banks Parade has been a valued greengrocer in the village for over 20 years. When the business was put up for sale in 2023, we saw a unique opportunity to save a key community asset for current and future generations and avoid the loss of a longstanding, profitable, village shop promoting a healthy lifestyle by providing good quality, fresh fruit and vegetables and other produce, and a valued hub for the community.
Our aim was to purchase Blooming Fruity, and make it a thriving, community-owned shop which is at the heart of village social life. In community ownership the long-term future of our greengrocer should be assured.
