Why did you choose this type of business or craft? Simon Hamilton is the founder and the idea for the business came while Simon was sitting on a mountain ridge overlooking a pristine valley below him. He was waiting for the right conditions to take off and ridge soar in his paraglider. Taking in the beauty of the valley he thought that, what in the future, could one do to make a difference and contribute to conserving what lay in the valley beneath him. The answer he felt lay in nudging people through influence to ‘go greener’. The greater ‘eco-friendly’ became a collective group norm the better chance of less pollution and damage to the planet and preservation of healthier living in every form of our environment.
From his own experiences Simon thought then that the simple way he could make a difference to positively contribute in the future was to market natural and organic products.
So it all began 14 years ago at the Bryanston Organic Market with three products. From those humble beginnings we have developed and built a niche market of natural and organic products. We now also have a shop at Lifestyle Garden Centre and sell to customers throughout South Africa and overseas. With the exception of a few imported products our large range of quality products are all South African.’
We have built up a quality range of Skincare, Bodycare, Babycare, Healthcare, Supplements, Cleaning Solutions, Household, Pet and Garden products. Reaction to our wide selection is often one of surprise and awe at the variety and selection of mostly South African sourced natural eco-friendly products. Growing numbers of loyal customers appreciate the wide selection of products and the service we offer in our niche business.
