CONSTRUCTION TIME AGAIN…

OUR BIG NEWS
(If you didn’t already know) is…
WE’VE MOVED OUT OF OUR FACTORY!

On the same day that we launched our ‘Festive Seven’ selection boxes, at the end of November, demolition work started in our little factory!

Earlier last summer when our landlord raised our rent (by a lot!), we decided that although it was going to hurt, it’d be best for the business to move out. Luckily the lovely new tenants of our unit delayed their moving-in date, allowing us to have a Christmas, which has helped cover the cost of all the demolition work, the electrical and gas works, the plumbing (all the plumbing!), the roofing work… the list goes on!

After an intense couple of months, the last few weeks have been harder than we could possibly have imagined! Trying to keep going when every hurdle gets harder to jump, and the enormity of what we’ve got, the scale of it all, all that equipment that we need to produce our treats, it’s more than overwhelming sometimes. But all the love and support that we get from you lovely lot has kept us going, kept us focussed on why we’re doing all this, and why we’ve got to carry on, and to find a new home that’ll not just let us function, but let us thrive in a way we haven’t been able to in our premises in Newhaven!

So now that Christmas is behind us (and we’ve had a few days to recover a little), the hunt for our new home has shifted gear, and we’ve been up to Scotland (Lesley’s home!) to look at potential premises, and we’ve found a few great options! So hopefully we can get back to doing what we do best, very soon!

Thank you all for your continued support and love, we love you!

Oh! And HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Vegan sweets made by a small vegan family company in East Sussex.

“That’s a flavour I haven’t tasted in a long time!”

All handmade from scratch
No artificial flavourings or colours
Dairy-Free & Vegan of course!

We do our best to source the most ethical ingredients, our choc is UTZ and RAINFOREST ALLIANCE accredited for ethical, sustainable farming, and the margarine we use is RSPO certified, only using Palm from segregated, sustainable crops, and we’re on the FOOD EMPOWERMENT PROJECT list of ‘ethical chocolate companies’! Even our little factory is doing its bit by being CARBON NEUTRAL with some help from ECOTRICITY!

“Tastes just like dairy toffee. If you did a taste test you couldn’t tell the difference!” Debbie.

“The most realistic ‘alternative’ I’ve ever had!” Sue.

A note about gluten: We’re introducing new labelling for our products that will state that while a products recipe/ingredients are gluten free, we do handle gluten in our premises (for our Malt Lava and Shortcake biscuits). While we do all we can to minimise cross-contamination, we want to be clear about our products for those who have Coeliac disease or severe gluten intolerances.
