About Us
We are a small family run company. We think this is a great strength, as we know our customers and it is not just a job to us.
History - In the early 1990s we ran a large wholefood buying group from our kitchen table. In 1998 with the kids settled at school we advertised for some "proper" customers who were interested in the same food type of food as we were supplying to the buying group and from there we started.
Community Foods - Initially, we just delivered locally; after this we started mail order working with Community Foods in London supplying their brands (Crazy Jack, Orgran, Sanchi, Nature's Path and of course Larabars) and now their whole range.
From the Community Foods connection we supply Orgran to Chemists and Pharmacies across the UK for their Coeliac patients.
The original members of the buying group continue to get their shopping from us, a couple now work part-time in the business and our shop is located at another's.
In late 2001, we took the plunge and made it our sole source of income. In November 2003 our shop opened, and we started to grow some of our produce. We now have full organic status for the produce coming from the Cotesbach Kitchen Garden.
Our Soil Association status also allows us to pack our own label organic produce. We follow very strict standards and like all companies certified by the Soil Association we are subject to an annual audit.
Things are moving on, and we try not to stay still, (partly because as you get older it becomes harder to start again) :
- In January 2006 we had visits from both East Midlands Development Agency and also from the Defra minister Lord Bach, who was then responsible for Sustainable Farming and Food.
- In January 2007 we hosted Sky News for the day during their Green Britain week.
- In the early summer of 2007 we received some funding from The Rural Development Council to improve and build our internet business, so thanks to the RDC for this web site.
- During 2008 we continued to develop and started to offer a discount for buying a case, we had always done this in the shop and though it a logical extension to offer a discount on the web.
- During 2008 we also developed the number and variety of gluten free lines we offered.
- In 2009 we continue to develop the range of products we offer, we are still at the Farmers market.
Green Your Office - In 2006 we started to work with Green Your Office. Green Your Office is the trading name of Via3 Office LLP is a partnership business, founded by John Theaker and Karl Harder and Martin Cook in partnership with some of the world's leading ethical business people, including Gordon and Anita Roddick in the UK, and Hazel Henderson in the USA.
Ethics - We think there is an alternative way of working that helps you the customer and helps us. For example our local delivery customers collect their old packaging, bubble wrap etc which we use for our mail order service. This helps the environment, helps our customers and helps to keep our costs down.
When ever possible we like to buy from local suppliers. We also like to stock fairly traded goods.
Sue and Cathal - From student days we have always been interested in food, and with the arrival of a family this developed into an interest in nutrition. This logically moved towards organic food as it developed.
