Beth and Alex said: "We are so excited to show everyone what we have been doing over the last few weeks so please pop down to our little shop this weekend to have a look.
"We have worked so hard to create an ethical business where good, healthy food and sustainable sourced products are available to everybody without the heaps of plastic wrap.
"We will be selling a range of organic, dried foods including; nuts, seeds, spices, pasta, rice and cereals. We will also be selling some household cleaners and personal care products as well as some lovely gift items, perfect for Christmas.

"With the growing concern for the impact we are having on our climate as a species, we know that more people than ever are looking for an alternative way to shop that is kinder to our planet.
"We hope that we can be an integral part of this journey for the local community."
This will be the second store specialising in 'zero waste' products in the town.
