Aldwinckles Coffee House Ltd

Located in one of the last 'yards or Tofts' Aldwinckles Coffee House is situated just off the bustling historic Church Street of Market Harborough.
The covered courtyard and inside coffee house offer a secluded and peaceful location to bring friends or come on your own to sample the range of locally roasted coffees, speciality lattes, loose leaf teas, homemade cakes and delicious savoury cuisine.
We offer a wide range of freshly prepared hot and cold foods, with many ingredients being sourced from local independent producers.

Green Services

Where possible we serve food that can be decanted into reusable jars and dishes rather than in single-use plastic. Most of our takeaway packaging is recyclable or compostable and we actively encourage customers to bring their reusable cups for takeaway drinks. We use local suppliers where possible to reduce our food miles and support the local economy. Our used coffee grounds and tea leaves are collected by a local allotment society for use on their land. Our food waste is collected by Refood UK who uses anaerobic digestion to turn it into fuel and bio-fertiliser. We refill our soap dispensers and detergents at The Eco-Village.

Bridge 67 Butcher's shop

We are a family run butcher's shop in Kibworth showcasing high quality sustainably and humanely farmed local grass fed 21 day matured beef, lamb and pork from a nearby farm. We feed all our livestock on good natural foods (grass and grain) from the farm. Great animal husbandry and respect are at the heart of what we do, so we encourage nose to tail use of every animal with as little waste as possible. We are passionate about great tasting food, sustainability and wholesomeness. From our farm to your table.

Green Services

We practice sustainable and ethical farming in partnership with the wonderful countryside; minimising chemicals, additives and keeping antibiotics use to a minimum. We advocate nose to tail use of an animal to avoid waste and are very much low food miles as the animals go from our fields to a local slaughterhouse and then straight back to us all locally. We try to avoid all plastics and encourage using recycled paper and packaging materials.
We also supply other local British produce from farms and small businesses. We are very much an active member of the Kibworth High Street serving our local population and responding to their needs and requirements. During lockdown we have started free local deliveries for those unable to leave home grouping deliveries geographically and time schedule wise to save on petrol.

Eco Church Harborough

A Rocha UK has developed Eco Church – an award scheme for churches in England and Wales – of all denominations - who want to demonstrate that the gospel is good news for God’s earth.
Here in Market Harborough a small group of representatives from the different churches are trying to encourage each church to ‘go green’ – caring for God’s wonderful creation.
We’d love your church to take part in this exciting initiative, which will challenge and equip you to care for God’s world in all areas of your life together.
But to become an Eco Church you need to form a small group of people who are enthusiastic about the environment.
To find out more go on line - Eco Church – A ROCHA.
One of us would be very happy to come along to your church and speak briefly about ECO CHURCH – and when the group is formed I – or another member of our group - would be happy to meet with them.
To participate in the Eco Church scheme, register your church at ECO CHURCH – A ROCHA. You can then begin completing the online survey by indicating how your church is caring for God’s earth in your worship and teaching, around your buildings and grounds (if applicable), in your community engagement at local and global level and in your personal lifestyles as church members.

Once your church has amassed sufficient points, you will qualify for an Eco Church Award at Bronze, Silver or Gold level.

Flowery Veg Co.

Local wild florist that works out of a home studio providing gift bouquets, floral tributes, wedding and event flowers and more. Also an experimental grower of flowers, plants and veggies that blogs and posts helpful hints and tips to encourage others to do the same!

Green Services

Flowery Veg Co. mostly uses British blooms (sometimes even home grown - even better!) meaning that the flowers used are picked from a field in this country and delivered straight to my doorstep - no air miles or nasty chemicals to keep them alive for longer. All my wrapping is also eco friendly so that everything that arrives with my customer can be recycled (and usually biodegradable!) or compostable. Speaking of compostable, we also keep a few traditional compost heaps ticking over to use on the allotment so nothing goes to waste. Hopefully me showing others ways of growing your own flowers, plans and veggies also encourages people to have a go themselves and therefore reduce their own waste (whilst having fun!).

Unfiltered Vegan Ltd

Unfiltered Vegan is a family start up business based in the UK selling high quality, Organic and Natural Superfood Powders and Superfood Blends with a single goal in mind – to help people transition into a healthier lifestyle and discover the amazing benefits of what nature has to offer. We were inspired by Georgiana’s childhood where she used to forage for Sea Buckthorn with her Grandparents and remembered how the natural, organic produce would help keep them healthy. We wanted to reinvigorate this philosophy which is lost on so many people nowadays where artificial substitutes and supplements are replacing natural vitamins and minerals. During the beginning of the 1st lockdown in 2020 we were looking to purchase sea-buckthorn powder for ourselves to help our immune system against the virus and we realised that it wasn't very accessible in the UK and the products that were available were low quality and not organic. In addition to sea buckthorn, we tasted other superfoods such as Camu Camu powder which was featured in the Netflix documentary "Down to Earth-with Zac Effron" and Maca powder and we were blown away by the amount of nutrients and benefits they have. We found that superfood products aligned to our values of sustainability, high quality, organic and eco friendly were not available. We began to source responsible suppliers and started providing these healthy, nutritious and sustainable products to the UK market and we are very happy with what we have achieved so far.

Bud&Bean Preloved Children’s Equipment

Bud&Bean was founded by mum of two, Abby, as she could not bear to see her children’s outgrown, but perfectly good, children’s clothes be sent to landfill. Bud&Bean is based in the main room of The EcoVillage, and caters for children 0-6 years. The ethos of the business is to sell on perfectly good children’s clothing and equipment, for amazing prices, and keeping items out of landfill.

Green Services

The business has recycling at its heart. It is our aim to make buying Preloved a social norm, and to only buy new if it is an absolute necessity. It is almost a return to how things once were. The textile industry is one of the worst offenders for polluting our world, and throwaway fashion has become acceptable. Buying Preloved is one of the best things you can do for the planet, as these items already exist. Bud&Bean want to extend the life of a product to subsidise the amount of children’s equipment being sent to landfill and inevitably damaging our planet.

There are over 60 Master Composters in the county who attend a variety of events to promote home composting and give advice to the general public. They may also meet with individual residents, give talks, go into schools, advise community gardens, maintain compost display areas and write their own blogs and websites. They are all volunteers and are supported by a number of staff in the LCC Waste Partnership. There are 2 Master Composters based in Market Harborough.
There are ongoing opportunities to join the programme as a volunteer, please contact Matthew Copley for more information : matthew.copley@leics.gov.uk, tel: 0116 3058 280

I provide completely free soft surveys which demonstrate existing running costs and Airsource heat pump running costs based on the individual’s unit prices, this also gives reasonably accurate RHi entitlement projections and I can help with the claiming of the green homes grant which became available on the 12th of September 2020 and can be a bit long winded and complex. I calculate the exact KW size of Airsource required to make sure both the space heating and water heating demands of each individual property are met efficiently and economically .
I also provide solar panel and battery storage surveys again giving costings and returns based on the last 20 years weather patterns in the property area.
