November Newsletter – Shop with intention

We’re so close to the end of the year! But before we can sit back and celebrate that last day of the year, we all need to get through year-end functions, school events, teachers’ gifts, corporate gifts and of course, Christmas gifts for all the special people in our lives.

This year, why not choose to shop with intention and support WA small businesses… When you buy something from the big corporates / chain supermarkets, it’s a small drop in the bucket for them. But when you buy even just ONE SINGLE item from a WA family business, a real person does an actual happy dance! And I’m not even exaggerating, I’ve seen this happen 🙂 .

You can head over to our Products page and view all the different categories. There really is something for everyone… Whether you want ​Coffee or Chai​, ​Cold Drinks​, ​Oils & Infusions​, ​Seasonings & Salts​, ​Something Sweet​, ​Pickles Preserves & Jams​, ​Beautiful Soaps & Shampoo bars​ (hint hint, perfect Teacher’s Gift!) or ready packed ​Gift hampers​, have a look around and see what you can grab for your special person – make sure to get orders in as soon as possible so our producers can get it to you before Christmas.

New producer: Things are seriously starting to heat up

Welcome to Bluey Zarzov’s Hotsauce (please reply to this email and let me know if you “get” the subtext in the name – I was embarrassingly slow to catch on!). As passionate gardening, cooking and chilli enthusiasts, Paul & Robyn merged these three elements to create something truly exceptional. And oh boy, is it exceptional! ​

What sets them apart is their commitment to providing a 100% natural flavour experience. All their products, (including the T-shirts according to Paul) are gluten-free, plant-based, nut-free and made with locally sourced produce. They take pride in crafting their hot sauces without any artificial preservatives, colours or flavours. They ship Australia wide, and two of their sauces are also available for pick up from the Bunbury Hub. Also, check out this ​Recipe for a Banana Strawberry Crumpet Stack​ featuring their ​Strawberry Reaper Sauce​.
