Our food
We believe food is a joy of life. We are blessed to have been given our bodies to enable us to live.
We believe our bodies should be treated with respect. Maybe if we respect our bodies, we respect
others and the beautiful world all around us. Nature. What a marvelous thing. Both us humans and
the universe.
We are so blessed to have such abundance in our lives in developed countries ... we wake up in
the morning and can turn a tap on to drink water. If nothing else, is that not the only reason to wake
up, be grateful and happy every single morning. Well, we are.

Our ethos
Our favourite pastime when we get together has always been concocting yummie treats...
... and we have also always cared about what ingredients we use, where they have come from, how theyʼve been grown and the ways in which we prepare our food...
Our recipes are based around the seasons in England.
All ingredients are sourced through small scale and eco friendly growers using a carefully planned
system that prioritises:
- Community projects / local neighbours;
- Local small scale growers;
- Co-operatives;
- Social enterprises;
- European small ethical producers;
- Companies that show a commitment to the environment and social justice;
- If we buy from far away it is always organic, fairtrade and comes on a boat.
- Finally, we NEVER buy produce flown on a plane.

ORGANIC
* No pesticides or nasty chemical fertilisers.
* Better for people and the environment.
* No soil degradation.
* No expensive chemicals to buy.
* Encourages bio diversity.
* The little garden creatures like it this way...
HEALTHY
* Wholefoods
All our ingredients are always wholefoods complete with all their natural nutrients. They have not been highly processed nor do they contain synthetic or artificial ingredients.
* Omega-rich
We use cold pressed hemp oil, flax oil and olive oli - NEVER poor quality nutritionally rubbish or heat treated... all naturally high in the important omega´s
3, 6 &9.
* Sugar free
Yep, even the sweets! We are a sugar-free business for health, ethical and political reasons...
* Enzymes
All living foods contain enzymes - the building blocks to life. Without these in foods, we continually deplete our reserves and make our bodies age quicker. By eating a diet high in living, enzyme-rich foods, we become healthy, energetic and will live longer!
* Animal free/vegan
Eating high amounts of animal products isn’t only damaging the planet, it is damaging our bodies.
Now, we’re not suggesting we all have to give anything up, just lower the amount of animal products we eat.
* Low GI (meaning low on the Glycaemic Index)
Huh? Well, the glycaemic index of food is the rate in which food releases its energy into the blood stream. As everything we make contains whole foods in their unrefined and unprocessed forms, ingredients are natural and release their energy slowly into the body.
FAIRTRADE
There are also many people in developing countries that depend on us to buy the fruits of their hard labour, as it were. We buy fair-trade to ensure people in these countries are paid a fair wage for their work so they can improve their lives and move out of poverty.
SEASONAL AND LOCAL
Learning to enjoy all the seasons brings us happiness ... and tastier food!
* Support your local economy.
* Reduce food miles and Co2.
* Help stop climate change.
