| Dear Seven Shores,
I wanted to let you know that I have been hearing great things about your cafe and urban market from a range of different people in the community. Recently your philosophy was discussed at a geography teacher workshop in Kitchener. I decided to visit your cafe and see what all the discussion was about. I have to say that I am both truly amazed and relieved at the same time. First of all, your menu was fantastic, with so much to choose from. I had the Panini de Terre, which was so full of taste, obviously due to the fact that it is organic and free of any GMOs that plague our food industry today.
The reason I am relieved is because I have been very frustrated with the direction of the food and agri-business over the past few years.
Your urban market, is such an amazing idea, because it stresses the importance of not only organic food, but also locally grown produce, which is important for our local farmers. The organic food box program you offer is fantastic, and I will be sure to spread the word about your positive environmental and social options that you have.
Once again, thanks for a great lunch and looking forward to my next visit,
Cheers,
Adam Adam - New Hamburg |
| Today I brought home our first ever organic food box. The vast majority of the food that comes into our house is organic but I’ve never bought a box before. I’ve shied away from the idea because the contents of the box are fixed so I cannot choose peppers over asparagus or which particular pepper I want. Fussy I definitely am.
Two things inspired me to try a box. First was my Auntie Claire’s announcement that she had joined an organic co-op and was getting a box of veggies and fruit every week. The second bit of encouragement was our dinner at Seven Shores Urban Market and Café. When we were there I noticed a sign up sheet for the weekly boxes. Each week they would email me a list of what the $25 and $50 boxes contain. It would be my decision whether or not to buy a box. I signed up.
When I arrived to pick up my box this morning I already knew what I would be getting and that 73% of the items were local. What I was a tad nervous about is what the food would look like. I joke that I want my food to be organic, just look like it isn’t. To my delight every item in the box was lovely.
I came home and made a beautiful salad with the fresh spinach and grape tomatoes. I added hemp seeds and a drizzle of lemon/olive oil dressing. Delicious!
You know what? I even like the idea that the box will determine which veggies and fruit we eat for a few days. It’s a chance to be creative. The freshness of the food and the knowledge that it is local (and also came with less wrap/containers than had it come from the supermarket) also make me feel good about this choice.
I’m hooked! Marci www.onegreenvoice.com |
| I hesitate to admit I'm somewhat overly picky when it comes to coffee...or

Thank you Seven Shores! Christine A. Liebig, Kitchener, ON. |
| Chris and I, both coffee lovers, recently tried Seven Shores new organic coffee from Costa Rica. It's smooth and full of flavour. Chris was especially impressed, since this is actually the first organic, shade grown coffee he's ever liked! And we can enjoy it guilt-free, knowing we're supporting a business that's both ethical and environmental. Katherine van Lammeren, Kitchener, ON. |
| In searching for unusual Christmas gifts online, I stumbled upon Seven Shores Trading and was simply stunned by the beautiful root bowls and platters they offered from Costa Rica. Because I live in the U.S. rather than Canada, I was initially hesitant to place an order. However, I found this experience to be quite effortless and thoroughly enjoyable.
After placing my original order request online late one evening, I was pleasantly surprised to receive a phone call from Sean the very next morning to complete the order. Sean was happy to share the history and origin of these beautiful pieces, making them that much more interesting and was kind enough to write that information down to accompany each platter and bowl.
My merchandise was shipped immediately, followed by e-mailed tracking information, and I had root bowls and platters in hand in only seven days! I'm thrilled with not only the beautifully unique merchandise Seven Shores Trading has to offer, but also their exemplary and personal customer service. I will most certainly be visiting their website often and can't wait to see what else they may offer in the future! Jacque Rohan, Lansing, Kansas, U.S.A. |
