Gauteng loves good food. At WD Fruit & Veg we make it easy to fill your home with fresh fruit, vegetables, and free range chicken from local growers. You order online. We pick, pack, and deliver to your door in 24 hours in Johannesburg and nearby areas.

Why local matters

Local food spends less time in transit. That means better flavour, better texture, and less waste in your fridge. Your money also supports farms and jobs here at home. When you buy local, you help keep food skills and small businesses alive in Gauteng.

What to expect in your first order

• Peak freshness. We choose produce that looks great and tastes great.
• Simple packing. Your order is packed to protect soft fruit and leafy greens.
• Clear labels. Items are grouped so unpacking is quick.
• Fast delivery. Most orders placed on weekdays arrive the next day.

If anything is not fresh, tell us within 24 hours. We will replace the item or credit your account.

What is in season right now

Summer in Gauteng is full of colour. You will often see:

• Fruit: mangoes, peaches, nectarines, grapes, pineapples, citrus carryovers
• Vegetables: tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, spinach, baby marrows, sweetcorn
• Fresh herbs: basil, parsley, coriander for quick flavour boosts

Stock changes daily, so check the shop for what is best this week.

Build a better basket

A good basket covers fruit for snacking, vegetables for cooking, and one or two items that feel special.

• Everyday heroes: onions, tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, spinach
• Fresh crunch: cucumbers, peppers, lettuce
• Sweet picks: bananas or grapes for easy snacks
• Free range chicken: a whole bird or portions for roasts, curries, and meal prep
• A treat: seasonal stone fruit or a punnet of berries

Tip: add eggs for breakfasts, baking, and quick dinners.

Simple ways to keep food fresh for longer

• Leafy greens: wrap in a paper towel and store in a ventilated bag in the fridge
• Tomatoes: store at room temperature if you will eat them in two days
• Bananas: keep separate from other fruit to slow ripening
• Herbs: trim stems and place in a glass of water in the fridge, loosely covered
• Chicken: keep chilled and cook within two days, or freeze on the day of delivery

Small habits like these reduce waste and save money.
