Orders For Delivery 23 Feb 2018

Hello dear Lowveld Friends!

Last week saw some really amazing new products with the highlight being the Salted Carrot with Seaweed on the list again this week. It is truly delicious and so different – a real gourmet treat! After all the orders had gone I got to play a little with it as well….
We loved our dinner starter!

CHOCOLATE

Eliminating animal products from a diet has a few challenges for some people, one of them being chocolate (or the lack thereof). This however is not a problem anymore, as there truly are alternatives that are dairy-free (lactose & casein free) and don’t contain palm oil either. Noble Choice is available from Dischem. We use it in everything – from chocolate sauce to cheesecake to truffles – and it is delicious! Have a look at the Eskal website for more details on the ingredients and nutritional value.
So why should we not be eating milk chocolate? Have a look at what Arin Janus has to say about Dairy Is Scary. She is factual and to the point, and we all need to know about it.

Palm Oil is another ingredient we should be avoiding, and it is in EVERYTHING – from biscuits to shampoo! Have a look at its devastating threats to the environment and all its creatures.

BIODEGRADABLE PLASTIC BAGS

We are #crushplastic’ing all the way… using the cellulose bags from Good For The Ground for your orders. That means you don’t have to feel bad about chucking them in the bin or even in your compost! How awesome is that?! Remember that you can also order these bags from us – it is listed on our weekly order form. #CrushPlastic #EnvironmentalChoices

R.I.P Liesl Nel
It is with sadness that I removed Liesl’s email address from our distribution list this morning.
Thank you Liesl, for all you had done for the animals, for how you demonstrated true vegan activism in the most diplomatic and dignified way.
We will hold you close to our hearts – always…

PICK-UP POINT
We have come to a very special arrangement with Marlise of THE FOOD FUNDI in the Pick n Pay centre (next to SARS) to become our pick-up point every Friday 15:00-17:00. This is a huge cost saving if we do not have to courier your goods to you. We believe that this location is central, apart from the fact that they also serve delicious vegan cappuccinos and will have some awesome new vegan items on the menu soon!

Please let us know if this venue does not suit you.
