Rebecca Stolting and Louise Nuss are two longtime friends who share a love of healthy food and who now share ownership of their very own organic produce store to Robina.
The store, A Life To Live, brings affordable organic food to the local community in a simple and effective way by offering pre-made boxes of organic fruit.
Three years ago the duo decided to educate themselves, undertaking over 1,000 hours of study on how the body works and what is needed to live a long and healthy life.
Starting out as a garage operation with a few customers buying boxes of fruits and vegetables, they’ve since expanded into a small retail store on Scottsdale Drive.
The two mums are now on a mission to bring quality food that doesn’t break the bank to the table on a much larger scale, with the vision of becoming the largest organic supplier in South East Queensland.
“Our ultimate goal is to provide an easy and affordable way for families to improve their health,” said Louise.
“Food is at the crux of life.”
It’s become so popular the new store is already selling close to a tonne of fruit and veggies weekly.
“People are hungry for healthy options that don’t cost the earth,” Rebecca said.
“Our ultimate goal is to provide an easy and affordable way for families to improve their health.”
“It is alarming how many people don’t eat enough fresh fruit and vegetables.”
“Only one in 10 Australians eat enough veggies for optimal health,” she said.
The popular staple boxes containing mostly local produce start from $50 with smoothie boxes ($15.50) and juicing boxes ($17.50) also available.
Currently only pickup is available but the duo will soon be launching a region-wide delivery service.
There are also organic pantry items available including flours, sugars, nuts and seeds, rice, pasta, breakfast grains , salt, oils, dates, spices and more.
In the future Rebecca and Louise plan to stock eggs, butter, milk, healthy pies and sausages as well as organic nitrate free bacon and cheese.
