Sound Bites

We are a Worker's Co-operative, which means that there are no shareholders, and the staff structure is non-hierarchical. We don't have a CEO, what we do have is a collective management team where we work together, making decisions together, and relying on each other to make the best decisions we can to make Sound Bites be the best that we can be for our community.

Refill Scheme Sound Bites has always refilled some bottles of household cleaning products as a matter of principle. We buy stock in 25L drums rather than lots of 1 litres. It's cheaper for all of us; it saves lots of packaging, and it requires less transport (fewer "cleaning miles"). You will now find all products on the shelves in the household section of the shop.

We work hard towards being an Aladdin's Cave of wonderful foods, many of which you might not find on the high street anymore. Everything we sell happens to be Vegan, because we believe it to be the most ethical and environmentally suistainable diet. We don't feel like this is a limitation, but something that everyone can enjoy with a minimised impact.

We consider ourselves to be an ethical grocery store - which first and foremost guides the other policies which we set out for our business. A big part of this is in-depth research into the brands we stock and the ingredients used; we wish to wholeheartedly provide the best possible goods for our customers!

Our organic veg box scheme is certified by the Soil Association, so you can trust the growing standards the produce is held to. We source locally as much as possible, meaning we enjoy seasonally available produce when it is at its best. This means that no two boxes will ever be quite the same!

If you wish to join our scheme, you can order veg boxes via our online shop here, or set up a standing order with us so you don't have to remember every week.You can order weekly, fortnightly, monthly, whichever suits you best - you can also provide up to two exceptions for items you don't ever want in your boxes.
