These guys are the hub of Glastonbury for supporting local organic and sprayfree growers of fresh vegetables, fruits and other fringe items. They stock a big range of Riverford Organic produce delivered fresh from Devon. They've got the pantry sorted with everything you need from breakfast cereals, coffee, vegan milks, cows milk, chocolate to crisps, cheeses to Sauerkraut. We bought the vegetarian sausage rolls which were great. They have another savoury selection in the display fridge but don't warm them up for you - I tried eating the Potato cakes and they weren't good cold. I took them home and heated them up and were way better. They gave a deal going where you can buy 3 for 5 pounds which was pretty good value. The takeaway coffee was good - we ended up walking down the road to the church grounds and sat in there to munch on our goodies before hitting some of the crystal shops and clothing boutiques. It makes for a good day out when you can good coffee, organic food and chilled out vibes meandering around the streets of Glastonbury!

This place was great to buy nice local produce like the Pennard Organic Mead I enjoyed for Lammas. A great choice of natural soaps, lots of yummy foody treats, this is well worth a visit and a good browe.

Amazing selection of wholefoods and other 'health' foods and supplements. One of the best wholefood shops in the south west

I love this shop and would have given 10 stars if I could! Very friendly, knowledgable and helpful staff, top quality food. I am sad that your Portishead store has closed as that was much nearer for me. I will now resume my fortnightly trip from Clevedon to your lovely shop. Thank you to all of you. Best wishes Myra.

This must be one of the biggest and if not one of the best organic food stores in the UK. A real beacon for Glastonbury.

Love it in here, staff are super friendly and there's a great selection of stuff at reasonable prices. Live in London but always make sure I come here when I am in Glastonbury to stock up on soaps, vegan chocolate and other lovely bits. The sausage rolls are fab too.

Amazing variety of products, alternatives and essentials. Was really cool just to browse actual vegan products rather than buying all online (we don't have anything similar to this where we live!) On top of that the samosa from the bakery at the back was to die for!

Love this shop, I come here for a lot of my organic supplies. Great range of foods. I particularly like how they have a lot of ready to eat food aswell can highly recommend the Fritata. I also really like their range of toiletries, it's the only place I will buy my shampoo bars from, Great value compared to other brands. Very helpful and friendly staff too. It's good to see they are trying to follow covid guidelines, but there did seem to still be a lot of people especially families not wearing masks or distancing

Get into the holiday spirit with a little upcycling! Simply take one of our paper bread bags and reuse it to create something super special – a paper star decoration full of memories!

Making this eco-friendly Christmas paper star decoration for your tree is a great activity to keep the little ones entertained now that school is out! Go sophisticated with pretty wrapping paper or make a little festive magic that you can cherish year after year like we did.

Why do we love it?

Create Christmas memories
Reuse packaging that would otherwise be wasted
Fun activity for the school holidays!
Home-made Christmas decorations to cherish forever

How to:

You’ll need:

2 squares of paper the same size (we’re using 18cmx18cm)
Scissors
Eco-friendly tape or glue
Twine, string, wool etc to make a hanging loop

Note: Your paper can be all kinds of fun stuff! We’re reusing our bread bags to upcycle these stars but if you have leftover wrapping paper, wallpaper or even colouring sheets then use those!

Step 1

Ok so you’re ready for some eco-friendly festive fun? Start by cutting 2 squares of paper of equal size (we did 18cm x 18cm). Fold both square in half and press along the fold to create a line. Repeat this going opposite way so you have cross lines pressed in to each piece. Now fold corner to corner both ways to create diagonal fold lines too.

Step 2

Next, make 4 half way cuts from the middle of each side of the square (following the line you created from folding in half). Fold in each corner from these cuts to create your star points then fold one half over the other and use some eco tape/glue to stick it together.

Repeat with the other square!

Step 3

Now you halve 2 halves it’s time to stick some string inside one of them to create a hanging loop. All that’s left is to glue or stick the 2 stars together, pressing gently so the don’t get damaged.

Make them fun!

You can even use old bits of wrapping paper and go to town with mix and match patterners and sizes.

We cut 2 18cm squares from our paper bread bags but you can make them any size you like! Some small stars would be lovely as table décor!

Stick on any other decorations you like – let your imagination run free!

It’s an all round sustainable thumbs up from us!
