New Earthy store opens in Portobello

We're delighted to announce that our new store is opening in Portobello at 9am on Friday, 26th August 2011. Offering the same huge range of local, seasonal organic produce as our Ratcliffe Terrace store, Earthy Portobello will provide those of you who live on the north side of town with a local store to do all of your 'green shopping'.

Earthy Portobello is based at 19 Windsor Place, just off Portobello High Street - click here to see where we are on a map.

Pop-in from Friday and check out our fantastic opening offers. We look forward to seeing you soon.

My wife was in this morning. Very nice organic pots and beans and delicious focaccia. Great addition to Portobello and I expect them to do well and wish them lots of luck. That said, I don't think we will be buying many more organic lemons at 66p! That's over 13 shillings in real money you know.

The latest addition to Portobello’s shopping scene is vying for the ever-increasing organic market, but not at the expense of its local suppliers.

Earthy, which set up on Windsor Place last month (August), is the second branch for company founders Dirk Douglas, Pete Jackson and Patricia Stephen, who specialise in quality, organic and locally-produced food.

Dirk said: “We’re hoping at some point in the future to have something similar to our café in the Southside here but combining it with a social hub. There are a lot of crafts people and artists and there's a real sense of community in Portobello.

“We would love to be central to that in terms of people coming here and using the space that we’ve got for community-based projects; to meet, to greet, to talk and for like-minded people to come and have a chat, whether at a craft fair or with a café.

Took me a while but finally entered the store today
And I'm sorry I left it so long
Got lovely carrots which taste like the ones my dad used to grow
Best of all they stock Mr Scruff tea
