Where do you source your produce?
All of the fresh produce is sourced locally from Certified Organic Farmers and where possible, bulk organic food items are sourced from local suppliers also.
What kind of ingredients do you use?
We only use fresh and organic ingredients of the highest quality.
Our food items do NOT include any:
Refined sugar, artificial ingredients, canola oil, vegetable oil, seed oils, preservatives, Processed ingredients, Gluten*, Lactose*, casein or whey - *There is one exception that includes gluten & dairy, and its the bechamel for the lasagne on the meat menu.
Are your meals organic?
They sure are! We are extremely passionate about health and ensure all ingredients are 100% organic.
Are your meals vegan?
Our meals on offer on the normal menu are currently entirely plant based but we do have the option to add meat as well as have the option for the Meat menu. Also the postpartum meals include either bone broth or Grass Fed Organic Ghee with a vegan option available. We follow the Ayurvedic postpartum guidelines and feel very aligned with the way a postpartum mother should be nourished with warming broths and ghee to bring the Qi and back to the body.
"In traditional Chinese culture, qi or ch'i is believed to be a vital force forming part of any living entity. Qi translates as "air" and figuratively as "material energy", "life force", or "energy flow". Qi is the central underlying principle in Chinese traditional medicine and in Chinese martial arts."
Can you accommodate food allergies?
We absolutely can. Just send us an email if you have any questions or requests! help@thevillagemumma.com
Whilst our meals are primarily plant based, we follow ayurvedic guidelines for postpartum so some of our postpartum meals use Organic Grass-fed ghee, this is the only form of dairy we currently use. There is also an option to omit the ghee.
Note: many of our items are prepared in facilities that process wheat, soy, peanuts, dairy, and tree nuts. Whilst we take absolute care to prevent cross-contamination, if you have an extreme allergy please note that cross-contamination is still a possibility with our food.
If you have questions about our ability to accommodate your food allergies, please email us at help@thevillagemumma.com so we can discuss whether we'll be able to cook for you.
