YES, BROTH BAR & LARDER IS OPEN – PREPACKAGED + TAKEAWAY FOOD ONLY!!

I hope you are keeping well, sane and healthy in these challenging times! 

I’d like to give you an update in light of the recent news that the NSW government has closed down all non-essential services. As an essential service, we will remain open with these changes:

• In keeping with current Government policy to mitigate the spread of Corona Virus,  no customers are allowed entry into Broth Bar. Simply stand at the front counter (which has been pushed to the front door) and we will bring all of your desired goodies to you. What service!

• We continue to sell all pre-packaged artisan food which has always been our core business.

• There is no dine-in option. Hot meals, soups and broth are takeaway only.

• One person may sit outside on our bench or feel free to go across the road to the park. All take away meals are served using our biodegradable disposable packaging.

• To share the love and ensure that there is enough for everyone, we are limiting quantity of soups, stocks and eggs – the quota is changes daily depending on our volume and is posted on the front door of our shop. Remember that we are a small artisan business and so are our suppliers!

• We are taking email (orders@staraniseorganic.com)  and phone orders (0421 786 009) but the above quotas on purchasing limits do still apply.

• Card payments only (no cash).

• We hope to have our online store back up soon after we get through the unprecedented volume of orders.

We are taking extra precautionary hygiene and santisation measures and our staff wear disposable gloves.

I thank you for your patience and loyalty in these challenging times and especially thank you for supporting local artisan businesses (especially of the single mum type! 😅).

My dedicated team and I are working tirelessly to meet the increased demand by increasing broth production offsite ... we hope to lift the quantity restrictions soon! 

Sending everyone much love, light and positive thoughts,

Love Soulla xx

For the sake of our kids, easter is not cancelled - now taking orders for easter chocs!

I am trying hard to keep some semblance of stability, routine and fun for my children.  Despite the global pandemic surrounding us, I do not want to deprive our children of the joy and delight of Easter chocolates too (they already have enough to contend with) so we are forging ahead with our annual nutrient-dense Easter chocolate offerings…for the sake of our kids. 

AS USUAL, WE HAVE 2 FABULOUS OFFERINGS THIS EASTER! 
BOTH ARE AVAILABLE NOW UNTIL STOCKS LASt

1) ORGANIC YUMMY BUNNY

These little fellows are made of our artisan organic solid raw dark chocolate and retail for $22.50 (cheaper than the Lindt ones I saw in Woollies!). Perfect for all the yummy mummies, delicious daddies and little bunnies out there….these will get your bunny tails shaking! 

2) MINI SOKOLATA DELIGHTS

These delightful little half eggs are the perfect mouth-sized treat. Each egg is decorated with either a goji berry, an activated almond or activated cinnamon buckwheat. You can pop them into some hard plastic egg-shaped containers from $2 shops for those treasured Easter egg hunts. 

They are retailing for $16/100g bag and each bag has a mixture of the 3 flavours. 

THE INGREDIENTS THAT GO INTO OUR ARTISAN CHOCOLATE:

Our artisan chocolate is made with the following highest quality 3 ingredients:

• Certified organic raw cacao powder

• Certified organic raw cacao butter

• Mineral rich pure Canadian maple syrup

To create our Easter range, I took our original Sokolata recipe and tweaked it to make it more kid-friendly for younger palates by increasing the raw cacao butter content and decreasing the raw cacao powder content.

Because it is less bitter, we reduced the amount of maple syrup as less sweetener is needed when there is less raw cacao powder. Commercial manufacturers increase the amount of sweetener for kids’ chocolates but we did the exact opposite as we know how unnecessary and damaging an excess of sweeteners are, especially for young growing bodies. The result is a silky smooth melt-in-your-mouth buttery sensation with a hint of raw dark chocolate. We trialled these on the harshest of critics (kids!) and got the big thumbs up!

To read about the nutritional benefits of raw cacao powder and what’s in commercially-produced chocolate that you might want to steer clear of (such as soy lecithins, refined sweetens, agave syrup, preservatives, milk powders), read one of my earlier newsletters here.

If these Easter chocolates don’t take your fancy, there’s always our sokolata (raw dark chocolate slabs…choose from 4 different flavours) or our raw cacao coconut balls (sweetened with whole medjool dates). 

How to purchase:

Our Easter chocolates will be hitting our shelves by this Friday 27 March 2020!

IT’S HERE! MY FREE ONLINE HEALTHY HOMES, HEALTHY SWAPS, ESSENTIAL OILS WORKSHOP!🌱💚

You kept asking for it, so I’ve delivered! I have put together a 40 minute online workshop for those who can’t make it to an in person workshop for you to view in the comfort of your home from anywhere in the world.

To access or to learn exactly what is covered simply click here and just follow the steps. 

As a special online workshop launch, I will be gifting every person who signs up for a Young Living starter kit on the monthly rewards program in the month of March a free Young Living oil (Aussie residents only) out of my lucky dip stash of oils. So if you’ve been fence sitting for a while about starting or deepening your journey into leading a less toxic more nourishing life here is your opportunity to (a) watch the online workshop in the comfort of your home and (b) get a free oil! 

In this workshop I give you a general overview of how simple, easy and cost effective it can be to rid your house of all hormone-disruptive toxic chemicals and healthy swap to all-natural cost-effective and super powerful versions, one by one, in a positive and empowering way.

Did you know that our greatest exposure to environmental toxins is in our home? Scientific research suggests that the conventional personal care products, perfumes, make up, pharmaceuticals and household cleaning products that line our supermarket and pharmacy shelves contain a slew of hormone-disruptive, cancer causing, allergy creating chemicals that wreak havoc on our and our childrens’ systems, as well as adversely affect the health of our planet. Being mindful of the food we eat is a terrific start, but what we put on our skin and breathe into our lungs is just as, if not more, important than the food we eat as our skin and lungs have no digestive filters!

The good news is that it is never too late to start kicking the chemicals to the curb to create a less toxic home environment for you and your family. Your home is after all the ONE and only environment you can control!

Let this new decade be the start of a new chapter where you rid yourself and your home of things that don’t serve you and fill your life with things that do! 🌱💚🌏
