Sam Long Limited is a family run business that has been providing fresh fruit and vegetables for over 100 years. You will nd that fruit and vegetables from Sam’s stall not only have more avour but also last longer than those purchased from the supermarket. Sam is very passionate about selling as much local and English produce as she can and has built up good relationships with local suppliers with a lot of her high quality vegetables coming from a grower in Titch eld and her fresh eggs laid by chickens in Romsey. For the environmentally conscious, Sam is committed to reducing plastic, wrapping all the produce in paper bags and any plastic and cardboard used on her stalls is either returned and reused or recycled. Helping you to reduce food waste, you can buy just what you need whether it’s a single apple for lunch that day or a larger order to feed a family for the week or indeed a Christmas feast! Sam is delighted to announce that she has recently secured another 12 month contract for her stall in Dibden Purlieu. She comments: “We have been so warmly welcomed by the community of Dibden Purlieu and are so grateful to all our regular customers that visit us week in, week out. It’s wonderful to have time to chat to members of the community and help spread some community cheer. Many of our more vulnerable customers prefer the outside shopping of a Market Stall and the freedom that gives them to take time to browse items rather than feeling rushed to be in and out of shops. We look out for our customers and get to know their likes/dislikes and share recipes and meal ideas with many shoppers.” So, indulge your senses and keep your carbon footprint light whilst supporting a local company with community at the heart of her business… a er 100 years of the family business Sam Long really does know her apples and pears!
