Peace Love and Vegetables - Passion for healthy food
Adam and Anya Yarrington's passion for healthy food led them to start their own business creating organic and probiotic rich food.
Adam, Anya and their team specialise in fermented foods. They make Kim Chi and Superkraut (Three different varieties: Australian Sea Vegetables, Berry and Green) and the Coconut Kefir.
“Our products are made by a team of peaceful, loving vegetable eaters, who embrace traditional hand made whole food production. We create high integrity products that taste delicious and are full of amazing health benefits,” Adam says.
| Adam & Anya decided to get into business to share their passion for healthy food. “As an organic producer we learnt a great deal about the healing qualities of whole food and vegetables and other ingredients we use. We felt the urge to heal and support good health while creating a delicious food. In 2011 Adam met Anya who was already making fermented foods for close friends, they fell in love and with each others passion for improving health they decided to start supplying the local stores with Sauerkraut and Peace Love & Vegetables was born. Peace Love and Vegetables started promoting their products in the local markets around Byron Bay. Soon, the demand started to increase as happy customers continued to spread the word. “The initial acceptance was great. However, we wanted our products to look even better. That was when we decided to ask Label Power for their professional advice regarding our labels” Adam comments. |
Label Power had a chat with Adam to fully understand his vision and recommended to use gloss white polypropylene material stock with special BOPP laminate. The gloss white polypropylene stock makes the colours jump out. While the laminate helps to protect the label against abrasion during transport and storage.
Adam explains, “What we like about working with Label Power is how easy it is to do business with them. Their staff are very friendly and helpful, and more importantly they go above and beyond when it comes to printing my labels.”
Adam continues, “Our products are now available in more than 250 stores around Australia and the demand keeps on going up. We are extremely humbled and greatfull and amazed there at any given time there are thousands of our products scattered across the country in people fridges. More and more people are now enjoying the health benefits and delicious flavour of our products.”

Additionally, it is also the perfect accessory for labels produced by Primera's popular LX- and CX-Series colour label printers and digital label presses. Together these provide a complete solution for your labelling queries for any small to large size business.
