Recap of our Newest Local Suppliers:
As well as welcoming back past Stroudco supplier The Artisan Baker (who’s freshly baked goods are being delivered in Partnership with the wonderful Bike Drop each week), we have also introduced healthy multi-portion meals/sides from Mama’s Family Food, eco food wraps from The Food Wrap Co (with both Beeswax Co and Vegan Wax Co options available), and the vegan gluten free raw treats (containing only natural sugar) by Baked by Beth.
We have also re-introduced our previous Fruit and Veg supplier Global Organic Markets. A firm favourite with our customers in the past, Global Organics are a Stroud based family business who have been trading organic produce since the early 1980s and support local producers wherever they can.
Our final newest supplier is a range of innovative ethical coffee blend from Noni’s Coffee Roasters who share a little more on what they do below.
"Noni's Coffee Roasters has been on the horizon for a good number of years. There is sometimes a thing that gives people some meaning to life, for some reason I have always been drawn to food supply chains, maybe because I am a huge food lover at heart and flavours make my heart sing! My love for coffee was brewed in the mountains in France learning about coffee's flavour profiles and learning about an industry taking some responsibility in the journey of a coffee bean. 'Specialty Coffee is Arabica coffee with a cup score of 80+ points'. The idea being that if you can increase the cup quality the producers are able to get a better market value for their cherries.
Each of the coffees have project titles - these are all linked to the environment of coffee production and the coffees in each project are either bought to support farmers who are looking to improve or protect coffee growing regions by the method of farming or processing coffee or are related to projects that help protect the environment they are produced in. There are many exciting projects coming up so please watch this space!"
