Food sustainability and wellbeing

Our Lady of Greens was created with the aim of fighting food waste and helping customers reduce their food-related carbon footprint as well as improving their overall well-being.

🌍 Working with the community by helping local businesses reduce their food waste;

🌍 Creating our range of no added sugar or additives Zen Kombuchas, which we sell at local markets, pop-ups, wellness centres as well as through our online-shop;

🌍 Using sustainable packaging and offering our customers a discount to recycle our bottles and jars;

🌍 Designing vegan recipes that are sustainable, affordable, healthy and easy to make.

How everything started

I'm Blanca, the founder and CEO of Our Lady of Greens. I’ve always been passionate about eating fresh sustainably sourced ingredients, and making delicious yet healthy food.

I started growing my own vegetables at local allotments in Merton as a hobby, as well as designing my own food growing systems to use indoors at my home in London. Sharing my produce and recipes with family and friends, and truly enjoying the contact with nature.

In 2021 I decided to make the leap from my corporate career on Communications and PR in the City, to setting up my own business. Our Lady of Greens was born with the simple objective of helping others eat more sustainably while improving their wellbeing.

Eating sustainably is an empowering experience that touches so many different aspects of our lives. It makes us feel better at so many different levels, mentally, physically, emotionally... I'm so grateful to sharing my passion with you. I really hope it will serve others in the same way it has served me.

Purpose

Our purpose is to help people live more sustainably, as well as improving their wellbeing.

Mission

Our vision is to

encourage people to grow their own food by creating products that make indoor mindful growing easy and effective
fight food waste by producing artisanally made vegan products with no added sugar nor additives.
