An independent family business, based in the historical Covered Market Oxford since 1952. Bonners are passionate about supporting local farmers and reducing the carbon fruit print across the food chain; reducing plastic packaging and doing all their central Oxford deliveries on foot (and soon electric bikes!) keeping those food miles low.
