Our Story

Over the years, Eric Hillmar and Villiesia Heward’s dream has evolved, growing to offer an extensive range of fresh produce, bakery goods, and wines—all deeply rooted in the family’s commitment to quality and heritage. Now, under the guidance of their son, Clive, our legacy continues, bringing our customers the best of farm-fresh ingredients, homemade treats, and traditional recipes passed down through generations.
