WHO WE ARE

​

Three Fountains has been a supplier of choice for quality pre-packed fresh salads, herbs, fruit and vegetables in the Cape Metro for over 15 years, catering for the specific and varied needs of our customers the retail, wholesale and hospitality sectors.

​

OUR HISTORY

​

We began as lettuce and herb growers on the historic Three Fountains farm on the Cape West Coast in the late 90's. In 2001, we built a packing facility on the farm and started supplying our own produce to the hospitality trade. In 2003, we were appointed to pack salads, vegetables and herbs for the Spar Group. Since then, we have grown steadily, necessitating a move to a larger, purpose-built processing facility in 2011.

 

Many of our staff who started out as pickers on the farm are still with us in various positions within the pack house and sales office.

 

We source most of our produce from local growers around the Peninsula, most of whom we have longstanding relationships and who grow to our requirements using modern, sustainable farming practices. For produce not grown in the Western Cape, we source from the Cape Town Market.
