Our Roots

WE LOVE FRESH FOOD AND WE LOVE OUR COMMUNITY.

Since 1925, our mission has been the same: To provide wholesome, nourishing foods over which people connect, because sharing a meal is one of the simplest, most powerful ways to bring us all closer together.

Our company got its start more than 100 years ago; Stephen Ring, Sr. and his older brother, Edmund, peddled produce from a horse-drawn wagon to Greater Boston communities. “Sweet, juicy peaches!” Stephen would yell as he pulled up to a street corner. “Quarter a dozen!” Later, Stephen would take his sons, Ed and Stephen Ring Jr., along to help.

We built a devoted customer base by hand selecting the finest fruits and vegetables from farmers locally, and from farms worldwide that shared our standards for sustainable agricultural practices and quality.

With these values in mind, Ed Ring opened the first permanent wholesale and retail location of Ring Bros. on Cape Cod in the 1970s in Harwich and a specialty store, Broadway Marketplace, near Harvard Square in 1992. We moved from Harwich to the current location in South Dennis in 2001 where it is now owned and operated by Ed, his wife Susan, and his son, Patrick.

Our South Dennis location offers 16,000 square feet of retail space and expanded capacity for wholesale operations. We invite you to visit our specialty retail store and to tour our cutting edge wholesale facility at 485 Route 134 in South Dennis, Cape Cod.
