A Dandy Timeline

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. 

1863

The family market stall was the very first to move indoors to Chester's new indoor Market Hall in 1863. The family business became the number one supplier of quality locally grown fruit and vegetables, used by all the top hotels in the City.

1920

Our very first delivery vehicle in the 1920's was a horse and cart, delivering fruit and vegetables from our farm to our Market Stall.

1935

Some members of the family leave to join the War efforts, whilst older members and females stay behind to increase food production on the family farm.
