Ok, the good news first:
The new supplies are in!! How nice to see my shelves full again. We've had a really busy couple of days as we repackage approx 140kgs of bulk food supplies...The products and prices link up the top has been updated, so be sure to check it out after this...
Now for the not-so-good news...
We have raised the prices on many of our products. I've really put off doing this, because I want healthy food choices to be affordable to as many people as possible, BUT...the harsh reality is that unless we start charging a decent price for our products we are soon going to find ourselves out of business.
Now that we've been in business for several months, and (hopefully!) starting to get the hang of importing, we are better placed to know the true cost of our products, and feel that the new prices more accurately reflects that.
In other news: My creative genius friend, Larry, recently turned his hand to making BBQ sauce. His first trial was pretty good, but he did some fine-tuning, and his latest batch is seriously the best sauce I have ever tasted!! My kids were licking it off their fingers!
It has NO MSG, NO preservatives, NO colours...made entirely from scratch. Even the liquid smoke is made from scratch, using some long complicated process with hickory sticks, that Larry tried to explain to me, but it went right over my head...Anyway!!
After that culinary triumph, Larry is turning his attention to making pasta sauces, seeing there is such a bounty of ripe, local tomatoes at the moment. The sauces will come in a variety of flavours, and should be ready early next week. I cannot wait!! Also hopefully we'll very soon have some locally made tahini on the shelves.
