Robert and Violet Donaldson ( my grandparents, Judy`s parents) opened our produce business in 1933. They were in 3 city markets in Atlanta for the first 52 years. Our last location was in the Municipal Market where we were there for 41 years. This is where I grew up working in the business in the 1960`s until 1995 when We left this location due to an unfavorable new lease. I worked every summer and every Saturday until I got out of school in 1979. I then started working full time and have never stopped. My Mother ( Judy ), worked in the business as a child , and then started again working in the 1980`s. When We found out We would not stay in the market We were in ,We started looking for a new location. After a few months looking for a suitable location , We found our current location on Lavista Road. Until this time We were Robert Donaldson Produce. When We moved to Lavista Road , We changed our name to David`s Produce. Until our new location , We only sold produce. When We moved here, We expanded our business into many other items , including gourmet foods, plants, homemade cakes, boiled p-nuts, and more recently , cutlery. Although We have many other lines, We are a produce business. We offer the best fruits and vegetables available and We are open year round. I still buy produce from some of the same suppliers We have bought from for as long as 57 years. I bring in the best produce I can find , being a small business , I can find quality fruits and vegetables large chains cannot get. We specialize in Tomatoes. We only sell southern grown tomatoes, usually from Georgia and Florida.
