Highland Wholefoods July newsletter
We hope you are enjoying the summer so far.
Our warehouse being below average temperature is finally working to our advantage, it's gloriously cool inside at the moment. Being able to keep all the doors open also makes ventilation a pleasure. Of course we won't be saying that come January, but for now we are looking on the positive side.
Plastic Free July
We're always working to reduce our environmental impact. We don't stock any soft drinks in plastic bottles, We've moved to compostable packaging for our own product in 1kg and under sizes. And our deliveries now use paper based tape to seal the boxes.
We look forward to seeing you soon.
