Abel and Cole
Abel & Cole began life in the basement of a house in South East London in 1988 when Keith Abel and Paul Cole, with help from their friend Jules and Keith's mum, began selling potatoes door to door. Their enterprise has expanded and grown based on the belief that running a business is about building long-term, trusting and fair relationships between people. They offer healthy, sustainable, high quality organic food, and well as sustainably caught wild fish, wild venison and eco friendly cleaning products. Their meat, fish, dairy and bread is always British and their rule is to buy British whenever possible, as the seasons provide, from their network of more than 60 independent producers.
