1826
Established in 1826 in the City of Chester in the UK, a man called James Dandy, originally from Tarleton, moved his family to Chester and set up his stall in Chester's Market Hall Square, to sell his family farm's home grown fruit and vegetables for the first time.
Today, nearly 200 years later, Dandy’s is run by James' 5th generation grandson Adam Dandy, his wife Clare, son Lewis, and in the future, daughter Lauren.
Where it all began, on a small wooden table top, in-front of Chester’s Corn Exchange Building, selling home grown produce.
