Our Mission

AT EDIBLE ISLAND

  • We source the best quality products.
  • We take care in knowing where products come from and how they’re made.
  • We actively educate our team so they can pass information on to customers.
  • We support our local farms and food producers.
  • We operate privately and have more independence than ‘big food’.
  • We negotiate with our suppliers for the best prices so we can be competitive.
  • We value feedback and are always looking for ways to improve.
  • We find creative ways to manage global supply issues.
  • We make policies for the safety and comfort of our staff and most vulnerable customers.
  • We don’t cut corners and make things ‘cheaper’ when it hurts someone. Especially a farmer.
  • We don’t do green-washing - it’s got to be legit.
  • We don’t expect all products to be available all the time. Pandemics and floods happen.
  • We don’t apologise for doing what feels right – even if it’s not the most popular choice.
