GREENWICH, CT — Greenwich residents who are looking for fresh fruit, vegetables, artisanal food and gourmet products can now do so without leaving the comfort of their homes.
Double L Market, the beloved Westport destination known for its commitment to sourcing clean and healthy food from local, national and global farmers and artisans, has announced its expansion into Greenwich with the launch of a home delivery service.
Owner Lloyd Allen and his wife Gianna Bavido have participated in the Greenwich Historical Society’s pop-up Tavern Garden Markets for the last few years, and they received many requests from residents looking for fresh fruit and vegetables.

Greenwich made perfect sense for expansion.
“We’re super excited,” Allen told Patch this week. “There was a lot of interest in Greenwich. We let this happen organically and now we’re officially ready to go and do it.”

With a brick-and-mortar market in Westport at 730 Post Road East, Double L offers the community access to fresh, high-quality fruits and vegetables from farmers and small makers near and far, including many vendors you’d find at your favorite local farmers market.
The market also sources specialty gourmet items including meat, poultry and fish.
“We’re about fresh, we’re about clean, we’re about local but we source the whole world. We think it’s a very beautiful planet,” Allen said.
Residents in Greenwich can now order fruit, vegetables, meat and poultry, seafood, grocery items, dairy products, plant-based food items, and baked goods.
Additionally, customers can peruse Double L’s “top picks,” or check out a selection of “curated collections” featuring a hand-selected mix of signature products boxed in a thoughtful presentation and perfect for any gift or occasion.
“Once you have your order in, we get an email and we print it out, we review it, we see what we have,” Bavido said. “It’s a personal experience as soon as we get the order printed out. We pick it, we pack it up beautifully, and it’s on the way.”
Delivery in Greenwich runs from Monday through Saturday. There is a $100 minimum, and a $10 delivery fee. Orders must be placed by 10 a.m. for same-day delivery.
Allen noted that the motto of Double L Market is, “Locally focused, sourcing the world.”
“We deal with big gardeners, little gardeners, big farmers, little farmers all around the tri-state. We bring items in from the Amish country, the Hudson River Valley, the north fork of Long Island,” Allen said. “We brought in fresh chicory and frisée from Italy that people went wild for, and now we’re starting out with Little Gem lettuce from Pennsylvania. We just go and find what’s fresh.”
Offerings will change depending on their availability or freshness.
Double L Market began in Westport in 1985 as a farm stand on the side of Kings Highway North.

“I was sitting on the side of the road, and all these cars were coming down the street. I thought how could I stop them? Opening a farmstand came into my head,” said Allen, who’s passionate about sharing his love of fresh ingredients and food items with the community.
“Broccoli gets cut every day in this country, corn gets picked every day, lettuce gets cut every day. The sad part about America is that it’s mostly controlled by large grocery stores with big warehouses and you’re not getting anything fresh,” Allen added.
“I really feel like food is medicine and food is a beautiful way of life. It’s very exciting to be able to go and find it and bring it to people. I can’t tell you how much I enjoy it.”
