An organic and spray-free wholefoods shop in Akaroa, on Rue Lavaud, where the bulk pantry staples are weighed out and packed by hand. It is a plastic-free shop that packs in glass jars and paper bags, and that aims for a fully organic range. The website says about 80 percent of the range is certified organic, and that the rest comes from spray-free, GE-free and ethical producers.
Customers come for refills of basic ingredients, and say the shop has what they need. One customer went there for eggs and was happy to have a dozen split, so they could buy just six. Grapes grown in the garden are mentioned more than once. Customers describe the service as friendly and helpful.
The business also sells online across New Zealand. The website says orders over $100 get free shipping and a discount, and that taxes are included.
