The oob organic family: our Partner Farmers

The oob organic family: our Partner Farmers

We’re often asked about our Partner Farmers in Chile, Peru and Turkey: who are they? Have we been to their farms? Are they held to a high standard of organic accreditation? In this blog we catch up with Robbie - co-founder of oob organic along with his wife Shannon - to give us some history on oob organic’s Partner Farmer relationships, and answer those commonly asked questions.

Soft Plastics recycling is all go

Soft Plastics recycling is all go

In case you hadn't heard... the Soft Plastics recycling program has been relaunched! It was only twelve months ago that there was nowhere in NZ to process used soft plastics, and now there are two plants in the North Island. A good stroke of Kiwi genius sparked the creation of Future Post (in Waiuku, South Auckland) which recycles the soft plastics into fence posts. Second Life Plastics is based in Levin and they turn soft plastics into cable covers, garden edging and other products. Great work guys! Find your nearest soft plastics recycling bin and read more about the fantastic effort that's being made to reduce waste here.

Sweet Vegan Eggs

Sweet Vegan Eggs

How delightful are these Sweet Vegan Eggs? They’re just so… egg-like! The ‘yolk’ is formed by making a puree of oob organic frozen mango and a touch of cornflour, and you can choose your favourite plant-based milk - almond, soy or coconut - to go into the ‘white’. Quarter them onto waffles with a drizzle of maple syrup for a Sunday morning treat, or let your imagination go a little wild and confuse everyone by serving them on a cake or dessert. We'd love to see a pic of your creation! 😍 #organic #ooborganic #certifiedorganic #natural #yum #surprise #mango #interesting #alittleimagination
