About us.

Mylocal5aday Ltd

Myloca5aday was started in January 2010 By Chris & Karen Sherry. We were having a little bit of a Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall "River Cottage" moment after moving out to the the countryside at Muiravonside and discovering the joys of growing our own fruit and veg.

We were both facing redundancy as well as my employer was being bought over by another company and Karen worked for one of the big banks - now under the ownership of the good old taxpayer now. So we were looking for a new career in line with our new found "country bumpkin-ness"

After 18 months building up the business and NOT being made redundant, Karen became pregnant, so we decided to pass the business on to 2 new owners.
