5 Rivers Fresh Fruit and Veg

Meet Gary and Navi, owners of 5 Rivers Fresh Fruit and Veg at Dandenong Market.

This husband and wife duo began their Market journey in 2017 and have continued to supply fresh fruit and veggies, as well as rare specialty produce ever since. 

Navi and Gary have an Indian background which they love to celebrate through the name of their business. The pair are from Punjab which translates to five rivers.

Navi, who immigrated to Australia from India has worked within the Market since 2007. When the business when up for sale she knew it was her opportunity to begin the small business of her dreams in a place she loved to call home.

Dandenong Market allows Navi to meet different and exciting people every day and she likes the challenge of owning her own business. The early mornings don’t phase her either – in fact she loves waking up before the sun to hand-pick her produce.

Customers love to shop at 5 Rivers Fresh Fruit and Veg for the friendly service and wide variety on offer.

Navi says that parsley, kale, herbs and spring onion are proven favourites year long, but she has a soft spot for green produce.

Additionally, 5 Rivers stocks hard-to-find items such as guava, taro, fresh turmeric and gooseberries. Gary and Navi are proud to say that they are one of the only traders to stock this specialty produce.

Shop deliciously fresh fruit and veggies at 5 Rivers Fresh Fruit and Veg every Tuesday, Friday and Saturday from 7am and Sundays from 9am.
