Coventry’s first organic shop will be throwing open its doors to customers this weekend as a home delivery service finds a permanent base.

Down To Earth will open in Earlsdon Street, Earlsdon selling all kinds of organic goods.

It’s being set up by Suzanne Bristow, who has been running a fruit and vegetable box scheme in the city for a year.

After the success of delivering to people’s doors, Suzanne has gone one better and found an empty shop to open for trade.

The shop will sell as much local organic food as possible, including fruit, vegetables, bread, pastries, cake, meat and fish.

It will also offer natural and herbal remedies, and toiletries.

Suzanne said she is hoping to get off to a good start, and is offering organic nibbles when the shop opens on Saturday.

She said:

“I endeavour to supply any products that people would like and hope to provide a real service.

“I’ve had a fantastic reaction from people in Earlsdon who have said that they have been waiting for this to happen. They have been chatting to me as I have been outside painting and doing things to the shop.”
