Today, Community is a professional, knowledgeable & respected operation, still servicing its traditional customer base, the independent Health Food Trade. Our market has also greatly expanded, & our business now also supplies ingredients for manufacturing as well as the retail grocery trade. Community moved to its present location near Brent Cross & continues its work promoting the availability of quality, natural foods. While slightly incongruous for a company with organic roots to operate in such a location
- not a field or sheep to be seen
- it just goes to show that even in such a place it is possible to make a difference. We now occupy a site of 4, 500 sqm from where we run our cash & carry operation, with additional off site storage of 9, 000 sq.m. We store the majority of our bulk product in chilled warehousing
- a legacy of the early days of dealing in organic fruit & nuts to maintain quality. In September 2006, Milk Marque, the successor company to the Milk Marketing Board of England & Wales purchased the entire share capital of Community Foods (Holdings) Ltd & the business passed to shareholder hands of over 12, 000 British Farmers. From humble origins selling "alternative foods" out of a small shop, Community Foods employs over 80 people to support its various operations. Our growth has been achieved through determination not to accept the status quo, an enterprising spirit, a desire to make better, more wholesome foods available, hard work, big business fulfilment & small business flexibility. Community Foods has retained a prominent position in its specialist food & beverage sector & has a reputation for quality, value for your money & reliability. Many of the team from the mid 70's are still with us.
