Our History
'Darryl Tedesco started 35 years ago as a grower in the Tedesco Family Business, mainly growing cauliflowers, carrots, lettuce, cabbage and rockmelons for the Asian and Middle Eastern Export Market.
After 14 years on the family farm, Darryl chose to start a new career in fruit and vegetable retailing and wholesaling. In 1996, he purchased his first establishment which was the Grow Fresh Markets, Kingsley and became a highly successful “community based” growers’ mart where he quickly realised the importance of locally grown product and how important it also was for the local community. In 2006 Darryl moved to a new location called Drovers Market Place that borders the Cities of Joondalup and Wanneroo where he adopted those very same principles of local product, freshness and flavour as the key ingredients of his new business. Darryl has a total of 21 years experience in retailing fresh fruit and vegetables. He travels to Canningvale Markets 6 days a week to ensure that he purchases the very best produce on the day for his customers. All fruit purchased is sampled by Darryl on a daily basis for flavour, texture and quality and this consistent approach taken by Darryl has not only enabled his longevity within the industry but has also earned him a loyal following within the community of the northern suburbs.
