At Nourish & Nosh, sustainability isn't just a buzzword; it's a mission statement that governs our entire approach to dining. We believe that it's possible to deliver delectable, organic food without sacrificing the health of our planet. Here's how we're making it happen.
Unwavering Commitment to Organic Food
We go to great lengths to ensure that all the food we prepare is 100% organic. From herbs to proteins, our ingredients are carefully sourced to guarantee that they are free of harmful pesticides and GMOs. This uncompromising commitment to quality not only ensures better flavor but also benefits the ecosystem.
Supporting Local Farmers
Sustainability isn't just about the end product; it's also about where that product comes from. We are proud to source our fresh fruits and vegetables from local farmers in Beira Alta and Alentejo. By doing so, we not only cut down on transport-related emissions but also support local businesses.
Packaging That Goes Back to Nature
When it comes to packaging, we've chosen a route that complements our organic ethos. Our renewable plant-based packaging material is an eco-warrior's dream. Once discarded, this material turns into soil within 90 days, whether in a home or industrial compost. Say goodbye to guilt associated with waste, as our packaging joins the earth it came from.
Keeping Our Carbon Footprint Low
We optimize our delivery routes to ensure that everything is delivered in one go, using only two cars. This approach substantially reduces the number of trips needed, thereby keeping our carbon footprint as minimal as possible.
Waste Not, Want Not
We believe in zero waste, which is why we produce our own vegetable broth every week from the peels of the organic vegetables we use. Nothing goes to waste; everything goes back to nourish you or the planet.
Cooking on Pre-Order: A Conscious Choice
In our fast-paced world, quick and convenient options are often celebrated. However, we choose to go against the grain by only cooking on pre-order. This decision cuts down on food waste dramatically, ensuring that we only use what we need.
But the benefits go beyond just environmental considerations. By cooking only what is pre-ordered, we are making a conscious choice to slow down and focus on quality rather than convenience. It's a different way of approaching food—one that places value on the experience as much as the end product.
This approach might mean sacrificing the immediacy that many have come to expect, but it allows us to craft each dish with the care it deserves while cutting out unnecessary waste. Even though this model cuts revenue from our pocket, it aligns with our values of sustainable living and perhaps, unconsciously, influences a more slowed-down pace of life.
The Takeaway
Sustainability is an ongoing journey, but we are committed to doing our part to create a greener and more equitable food system. Through our efforts, we hope to inspire others to take action and join us in fostering a healthier planet.
