Hey foodie! 💫
We hope you’re getting excited! Christmas is just two-and-a-bit weeks away… Eek! We’ve got some updates for you that are going to make your pre-chrissy excitement even sweeter. 🎁🎄
FRESH FROM THE FARMS
Delicious spray-free Rockmelons from the Panmeter family at Fig Tree Fields in Hopevale, North Queensland have arrived! Grown with love, not chemicals.
🍒 We also have super juicy Cherries from Graeme & Fiona Schultz at Forest Orchards, grown on their beautiful 60-acre property in South Australia. These precious gems don’t stick around long, so make sure you get your hands on some before they’re outta here. 🏃♀️
WEBSITE UPGRADE
Last week, we upgraded our subscription system, and even more exciting changes are coming soon. In the coming weeks you’ll be able to choose exactly what goes into your seasonal and meal kit boxes, making it easier than ever to do your weekly shop. It’s a Christmas miracle! 🥺
In the meantime, if you notice any changes or little glitches in the site - please let us know as it's possible we may have missed some small things in the upgrade.
BOVAER, RUMIN8 + OTHER SCARY ADDITIVES
You'd have to be living under a rock to have missed all the talk about Bovaer on social media recently. Rest assured, we don't want this stuff (or Rumin8 for that matter) going into anything we eat so we've checked in with all our beef and dairy farmers to ensure they won't be using it (absolutely no way!).
We only work with farmers and food makers who have the highest level of integrity and your health (and that of the planet) as their top priority. So you can rest assured when you shop with us, you're not getting a dose of nasty additives that can cause all kinds of health issues (and infertility!).
We're committed to providing you with the best quality food and exposing the truth about the rubbish going on in our big food systems - check out our Mindful Foodie podcast or Instagram feed for more.

The Mindful Foodie podcast: Episode 8
🌱 Did you know that the nutritional density of fruits and vegetables has decreased by up to 50% in the last 50 to 70 years?

So, why is the nutrient density of our food declining? In episode 8 of the Mindful Foodie Podcast, Kristen dives into some alarming stats about the declining nutrient density of our food - and how we can choose food that truly nourishes our bodies to thrive.
