Had a little trouble with the delivery but sorted out quickly, happy with the product. Hamper given as a gift and happily received
I purchased a number of collections and individual spices from Melbourne Bushfood in recent months. My discovery of this productive and sustainable company has been my “Eureka moment” for 2020.
Having purchased a spice collection, a hamper of products and also a range of different spices I am impressed by the quality, packaging and sense of community shown by Melbourne Bushfood.
Some of my purchases were gifts for others and some we have enthusiastically used ourselves.
When you buy from this company, you are purchasing valuable, practical and sustainable products. You are also providing Melbourne Bushfood with the resources to support indigenous plant nursery growth and youth support. By using your spices, you are also using and sharing sustainably grown , lovingly produced products which you are able to share, through your cooking and preparation, with friends and family. This wonderful chain of giving and receiving should be the new way forward for the future: buying such beautifully created products which continue to give to others.
Thanks Melbourne Bushfood. Looking forward to watching your progress and supporting you in 2021!
