Organic shop round the corner

Never thought I’d be able to find this little gem where everything looks colourful, fresh and full of lives.

A good place to stock up your weekly shopping and it is more than colourful fruits, vegetables, eggs, milk, breads, nuts, pulses, spread and a sincerely hello from the owner.

The shop owners go extra miles and make you feel very welcomed in the shop. Definitely worth checking out the little gem in south east London.

TRUE COMMUNITY MINDED OWNERS

I have been a customer of TVG since the current owners Bardan, Arpan and Keto toot it over about a year ago.

You just need to have few words with them to see how they understand community values, environmental responsibility and ethics. Not to mention how welcoming and friendly they are.

They are learners, so while they started by selling meat, milk and eggs, from their own customers and supporters they have been convinced to give up meat and fish and have now committed to go fully vegan within two years.

They are also very committed to become as close as possible to a zerowaste shop. Plastic bags are already being taken off and swapped with compostable, biodegradable and paper ones.
TVG provides unsold produce free of charge to local people in need and what is too overripe to be eaten is given to the animals hosted at the local Marion Park.

The produce they sell is of better quality compared to that sold in big supermarkets (where fruits taste like cartoons😉). They are not organic yet, apart for the bananas and other occasional items, yet this is very much down to their roadmap. You can contribute as well by asking them to go organic asap, please.

They have an increasing number of other vegan food, from milks to spreads etc.

Delivery is offered and you can even arrange to buy bulk, probably saving some good money as well.

If you have any good idea, they are very happy to hear from you and keen to work with the community to make this world a better place to live.

Please, these are the kind of business owners we need. Go and support them, even if all you can buy is one organic banana!

Thank You!

Pros: Very friendly, community minded owners who care., They are drastically reducing the amount of waste., Committed to go fully vegan and organic.

Cons: Not yet fully vegan., Not yet fully organic.
