Pretty much! We aren’t 100% organic (yet) but 90% of our foods are organic. It's important to us that we chose organic where possible, but sustainability is a big factor for us also. While we are a small business, we chose British, high quality produce first, which sometimes means that it isn’t organic. You will see on the menus which ingredients are organic and which aren’t.
ALL of our meat is organic to ensure you have the highest levels of nutrients possible.

Healthy fats are essential in the postpartum period for a variety of reasons, including supporting hormonal balance, breastfeeding, brain health, energy levels, and skin recovery. Including a variety of healthy fats in the diet not only promotes physical recovery but also supports mental well-being, breastfeeding success, and long-term health. In particular, omega-3 fatty acids are especially important for both mother and baby, aiding in brain function, reducing inflammation, and supporting the baby’s development through breastfeeding.

Protein is essential after childbirth to support muscle and tissue repair, promote healing, ensure adequate milk production, and maintain energy levels and immune function. A balanced intake of high-quality protein also supports mood regulation, muscle mass retention, and overall postpartum recovery.

The exact protein needs can vary based on factors like breastfeeding status, activity level, and overall health. However, here are general guidelines:
General Postpartum Protein Requirements: Around 1.1 to 1.3 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day (depending on physical activity and individual needs).
Breastfeeding Mothers: Protein needs may be slightly higher, around 1.3 to 1.5 grams per kilogram of body weight. This extra protein supports milk production and the additional metabolic demands of nursing.
Sources of Protein:
Animal-based: Lean meats (chicken, turkey, beef), fish, eggs, dairy (yogurt, cheese), and poultry.
Plant-based: Beans, lentils, tofu, tempeh, quinoa, chickpeas, nuts, seeds, and edamame.
