Something that we and Community Sauna Baths CIC have in common! 🧊🫚

Big love from your friendly neighbourhood ginger b**r people, The Root Co. | B Corp™️ 🙋‍♀️💛

HOLLIES x THE ROOT CO. 🤝🔥🫚

What better way to spend a weekend than in in Cheshire? 🥕🌲

We introduced our healthy, clean-ingredient ginger b**r to over 200 customers while they shopped for local produce, deli meats and delicious treats 🌽🧁

The ginger that we cold-press into our drinks all comes from a single farm in Tanzania (a key reason we’re a B Corp), and there was a great response to this sustainability mission 🤘🌍
