Despite challenges caused by COVID-19, lockdowns and budget, Food Family Passion is thankful for the support of local community.
"We wanted to make sure that we are eco-friendly and sort of reducing our carbon footprint with the business and still being able to serve good quality organic coffee and tea at the same time, foods like and coffee through our biodegradable and compostable utensils, cups and lids.
"You'll find some places have recyclable lids but not compostable, as for us it's both biodegradable and compostable. Even the coffee grounds that we use at the end of the date, we hand it out to the local community that is willing to use that thru their compost at home when they do garden," Joseph shares.
