A little reminder that you can still place a pre-o

A little reminder that you can still place a pre-order for our upcoming sail cargo delivery in October, for local collection (from the ship itself) and nationwide delivery. Link in bio!
-
All the favourites are available, exceptional olive oil, almonds, wine, olives, honey, salt, beans, coffee & chocolate. Mmmmmm
-
Pre-order prices save you around 20% on the retail prices, so this is a good time to stock up ahead of winter. If you'd like to know more about our upcoming voyage do sign-up for our newsletter - we will be sending one out in the next week.

*Returning Product: Chocolate Makers Tres Hombres Chocolate*
-
We're happy to let you know that we have @dechocolatemakers most delicious chocolate available to pre-order. Choose between the milk chocolate with sea salt or the dark chocolate with nibs... or both!
-
Many a happy moment has been spent sharing out this sweet treat with the sailors when cooking on board the Tres Hombres, flagship of the @fairtransport.shipping many moons ago. This beautiful ship transports the cacao beans used to make the chocolate from the Dominican Republic to Amsterdam emission-free! The ship has no engine, which is rare even among sailing vessels.
-
We are collecting pre-orders for delivery to Cornwall in October, for local collection and national delivery. Pre-order prices are discounted so get your order in early! Link in bio.

A big thank-you to those who placed an early-bird

A big thank-you to those who placed an early-bird order with us, purchasing our sail cargo at our most affordable price. By buying directly from our European producers and deciding to invest in what we do, the cost of both the shipment and the voyage is shared amongst many, and the financial risk of the journey is reduced.
-
Did you miss out on our early-bird order cycle? We are now taking pre-orders for the ship's arrival in October. Link in bio!

It is a pleasure to welcome Debbie to our team; @wild_wine_woman is heading up our new wholesale trading arm, Dawn Imports. Debbie brings her incredible viticulture knowledge and sales experience to the team, already landing our first contract with the beautiful Pig Hotels.
-
"So, I had this dream of bringing wine to the UK by sailboat. @wildwineschool specialises in educating people about sustainable viticulture, and more minimal intervention winemaking. But there’s also the huge aspect of transport!" - Debbie Warner, founder of Wild Wine School, May 2022.
-
Feeling inspired? Do pre-order our Miss Vitis Bal Da Madre wine - for delivery by sail this October - and take a read of our interview with Debbie on our New Dawn Journal. Link in bio for both!

We compared our Early-Bird order cycle prices for

We compared our Early-Bird order cycle prices for our extra virgin olive oils, with a selection of oils from our local supermarkets.
-
Shipping by sail is so much more costly than conventional shipping that we had to rethink our whole supply chain in order to deliver a product in line with our values. We want a win-win situation for all involved (including the land and the sea) AND for our products to be competitively priced - showing that another way is possible and affordable.
-
We are in awe of our olive farmers @passeite_azeite @emiliareigado @azeitecaixeiro @quinta_do_veloso - whose passion for their land and trees comes through in the incredible taste of their extra virgin olive oils. Much better than any supermarket oil in our opinion!

Time is running out to place your Early-Bird pre-o

Time is running out to place your Early-Bird pre-order for cargo arriving from Portugal and France to the UK in October. Now is the time to stock up on your Winter's supply of our exquisite olive oil, wine, almonds, rice, salt, beans and more at prices that are competitive with your local supermarket. How do we do this, you say?
-
Our Voyage Coop business model is a system of trade that puts people and planet first. By purchasing in advance the cost of both the cargo and the voyage is shared amongst many and the financial risk of the voyage is removed. By collecting from the ship, the onward distribution and storage needs are reduced. By buying larger amounts to last until the ship returns in the Spring or for sharing with friends and family, we can reduce packaging waste and take one more item of your weekly shopping list.
-
In this way, we are able to start small, as individuals and groups, while all together we are filling the ship's hold and creating voyage routes where every port arrival is a homecoming. As sail-cargo pioneers, your support is launching a system of trade that is truly able to bring global consumption back to a human scale. So order now and join us to celebrate our ship coming in this October.

Last week @wild_wine_woman unloaded wine, shipped by sail aboard Klevia ship, to @the_pig_hotels in an ongoing partnership under our new wholesale trading arm @dawnimports.
-
Debbie delivered the boxed 5L Bal da Madre wine in an electric van, with the first bounty going to the bar and restaurant team at The Pig in Harlyn Bay, Cornwall.
-
This 1 tonne of wine was produced by Gil Taveira and his team at Miss Vitis vineyards, Beira Interior, Portugal.
-
Swipe to see the locations of The Pig Hotels and where you can find this house wine, available all summer long, only, of course, while stocks last!

When Klevia recently sailed into Penzance, we hosted a wine tasting with lunch on the foredeck for the sommeliers from @the_pig_hotels.
-
The team travelled across the South West to try the Miss Vitis Bal da Madre red and white wine which will replace the house wine across all their hotels. We introduced not only the wines but the wonderful ship that sailed over the first tonne from Portugal and served up a meal full of our sail cargo ingredients alongside local bread and cheese.
-
Many thanks to @wild_wine_woman for hosting, ship's cook Eddie for helping prepare our delicious lunch, the ship's crew for making the Klevia sparkle and @45queenstreet for lending us chairs. 💙
-
Our Early-Bird order cycle closes next week, so make sure to place an order at our most affordable price. We have delicious goods from our European producers, including 2L boxes of Bal Da Madre wine for you to try at home. See link in bio.

Creature of the Week...
-
On recent voyages, our crew have been lovingly greeted by large pods of dolphins, jumping in and out of the ocean, riding the bow waves of the ship. The intense kinetic energy the waves create propels the dolphins along, allowing them to swim ship-side with little effort.
-
This week we explore part one of the often overlooked sea creature, the marvellous and humble Bottlenose Dolphin.
-
Bottlenose Dolphins share similarities to whales because they are mammals that have evolved from land to sea. They're warm-blooded, breathe in oxygen, give birth to live young (calves), and feed off fish and squid.
-
Dolphins are considered one of the world's most intelligent animals - with the ability to recognise themselves in the mirror and skillfully sleep with one eye open using only half their brain.
-
They are socially skilled, intelligent, agile, joyful, and playful creatures that share many emotional similarities with humans.

Loading traditional sailing ships, like gaff-rig K

Loading traditional sailing ships, like gaff-rig Klevia, is a labour of love. All crew members come together to sling cargo from one person to the next until the bounty is carefully stored in the ship's hull - no machinery involved!
-
Next time you place an order, do consider the time and skill taken to land cargo on your kitchen table. Our goods have travelled far, from beautiful producers + crew, in nautical miles, lovingly to you. Pre-orders open now; link in bio!

In December 2021, Debbie from @dawnimports, and the head sommeliers of @the_pig_hotels took a trip to MissVitis vineyards, located in the Douro region of Portugal, to speak with excellent wine producer, Gil Taveira.
-
We asked Gil what the secret is to his fresh and aromatic Beira Interior wines, such as the Bal da Madre, available at The Pig this summer.
-
"The Beira Interior is fantastic because it has a thermic amplitude that allows for a much longer period of maturation of the grapes, which is quite different compared to what happens in the Douro. The altitude and the fresh and cool thermic amplitude of the Beira Interior are crucial conditions to create our fresh and aromatic organic wines.
-
Bal da Madre wines represent the soul and essence of Beira Interior, which is the highest winery region in Portugal. Their unmatched freshness, aromatic exuberance, and natural acidity are the purest reflection of this terroir." - Gil Taveira

Last Friday, @blueschoonercompany crew loaded sacks of coffee and cacao beans into the hull of Gallant ship in the port of Santa Marta, Colombia for an exciting journey back to Europe.
-
For this voyage, we are partnering with expert Colombian coffee broker Catalina @cataexport and sourcing small quantities of exceptional speciality coffee from her network of farmers, to add as a new product offering to members of our voyage coop and growing wholesalers.

Today, the beautiful Falmouth working boat, Wild, is making her way to Mousehole harbour with a cargo delivery bound for Sea Salts & Sail maritime festival. Delicious coffee, panela sugar, olive oil and more from our voyages across the Atlantic were carried in the hull, for our #newdawntraders market stall on South Quay.
-
Wild is a 36-foot Percy dalton Falmouth working boat. Built in 1982 in Mylor Bridge with a carvel construction of Iroko on Oak, she was initially open. She was built to dredge oysters originally, but it was quickly discovered that she was too big. Shortly after launching, she was converted into a yacht and decked over.
-
Evelyn and Ben have owned Wild for 3 years and sailed her between Cornwall and Scotland, keeping her in Penryn.
-
Swipe for an interesting fact about Falmouth working boats, and do come down this weekend to meet the crew; we'll be here today from 2.
