I have started a food club hub in Milnerton.

Why?
Because I care!
I care about our earth
I care about our health
I care about the future of our future generations
I care about our lifestyle budgets
I care about my community

I decided to host monthly club (actually 2x per month) so that we can buy as a community and support regenerative farmers.
In turn this heals our overworked soil,
less chemicals in our food which means more health for us!
And not just that, but because we, as a community buy together directly from the farmers and local producers.
And eating well becomes more affordable.

There is a catch though, you have to PLAN AHEAD!
But once you have done a few months of ordering, you realise that you spend less time driving to the shops everyday and wasting time in the isles.

The nice thing is that when you place your order, you do not have to set up your bank details online, so it is VERY SAFE!

Then you select your items and 'confirm' your order and I will receive it all. It does take roughly a week, but it's so worth the wait.

You only pay around collection time.
It is very simple to use the ordering platform. You only need to create a log in once and then you are well on your way to buying high quality items.

We don't only supply you with fresh veg, dairy, meat, eggs, fish (ethically sourced), but also grains, breads, pulses, superfoods, vitamins, cleaning products, personal care and other healthy lifestyle options.

Think of it as buying for the month, without the fuss of going to the shop. You only collect it on 'market day' which is nice, because we can have a chat - if you want to (well, at least for me it is lovely, because I get to see you again)

At the end of the day, it is the experience of connection and supporting local suppliers who are keeping it ethical 🌱

It's a win/win/win

Just try it.

While Rumby was holding the fort at the bakery my daughter and I enjoyed a little road trip. One would think it’s a perfect break from baking… but my hands just could not stay away from making dough! We made breads, Neapolitan stretched pizza, sourdough focaccia and even a new type of yoghurt! More on this in a later post…

I was naughty I didn’t take too many photos (we were too in the moment of enjoying the food) so I can’t really brag about my pizzas, but they were PROPER Neapolitan stretched!
I will have to bake them again and remember to take photos next time!

I just love it when breads come out so beautiful.
I really wish they always are this insta worthy, but we often bake very ‘interesting looking’ breads
(By ‘interesting’ I mean more rustic, less instagrammable and less good looking)

The dough sometimes have their own personality and always come out different because our breads are handmade and we work with a live starter culture that we have to nurture like a baby

I don’t really know how many bakers actually also share the joy of baking the perfect loaf, but Rumby and I always strive to bring you consistency, especially when the weather turns colder during the winter months…

Thank you Rumby for baking the perfect loaf ✨
