The Voyage So Far...

We are an experimental business trading in wild id

We are an experimental business trading in wild ideas and delicacies, working with sailing cargo vessels to import produce from across the Atlantic Ocean and along European coastlines pollution-free.⠀
⠀
Inspired by people, projects and businesses that promote resilience in local food systems, we have designed the Voyage COOP to apply this way of thinking to international trade. With our network of ships, producers and allies, we are building new models for supply chains that put planet and people first.⠀
⠀
Through our products & events we are invigorating a new maritime culture around sail-powered cargo ships, the goods they carry & the communities they support. Our journey is a symbolic one, playing our part in the global movement to bringing food trade to a human scale & consumerism to a conscious level. In time we will add our own ship to the fleet!⠀

Atlantic Brewery's Azores Pale Ale is naturally br

Atlantic Brewery's Azores Pale Ale is naturally brewed in Cornwall 🙌.⠀

💦 Each of Atlantic's brews starts with water drawn from the spring on their farm, beautifully sweet it adds to the beers' unique character. ⠀

🛠 The Malt is sourced for Warminster Maltings in Wiltshire, Britain's oldest working floor maltings. Their hand-crafted malts use the same tools and methods employed over 100 years ago.⠀

🌱 Stuart and his team at Atlantic harvest their own hops from the farm's orchard in late August. These are then dried in the brewery ‘hot box’. The crop is not yet large enough to suffice all their needs so these Cornish hops are added as late/aromatic hops, alongside organic hops sourced from elsewhere, to maximize the individuality of their oils and resins in the beer.

As well as being organic and responsibly grown, it also tastes great; a balanced Mid-Atlantic blend of citrus grapefruit, lemon & orange on a gentle bitter backdrop. ⠀

Why not order some beer from a microbrewery that is truly dedicated to producing in a planet-conscious way? Pre-Orders close this Sunday - head to the link in our bio.⠀

What's Propolis? 🐝 ⠀ -⠀ Propolis is a resin

What's Propolis? 🐝 ⠀
-⠀
Propolis is a resin naturally produced by bees from the sap of trees. It is combined with bees' wax and spittle, creating a sticky brown, reddish or greenish product which serves as a coating and hive protection. This sticky substance is a great protection for us too. ⠀

Currently more than 300 compounds have been identified in propolis that act as antioxidants, helping to prevent and fight diseases. Propolis also has properties that protect against bacteria, viruses and fungi, as well as being an anti-inflammatory and an excellent healer.⠀

💪 Propolis:⠀
• strengthens the immune system⠀
• accelerates wound healing⠀
• prevents cancer⠀
• protects against diseases of the stomach and other organs of the digestive system⠀
⠀
🥄 How to use propolis:⠀
• Solid propolis can be chewed and swallowed, like a sweet.⠀
• It can also be used in juices, yogurts or hot drinks.⠀
• There is no right amount to consume, but the everything in moderation, some suggest a small piece every day.⠀

Thanks to Marina from Éme for her great insight and photos. Propolis is available to Pre-Order through the link in our bio. Stock up to keep those winter ailments at bay!⠀

Please note *If you are allergic to bees, you may be be allergic to propolis.⠀
Pregnant & breastfeeding women should also avoid this product.⠀

3 uses for Panela, unrefined cane sugar sailed from Colombia... ⛵️
-⠀
Crumbly and golden, with more vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and general goodness than regular refined sugar, once you try it you won't go back!⠀
-⠀
Here's 3 ways we love to use it:⠀
-⠀
🍰 Baking - Replace your usual choice of sugar with Panela for a much richer and more caramelly result. Or mix the two if you prefer. We love it in banana bread and @raeweaver Pecan Panela brownies look amazing.⠀
-⠀
🥘 Cooking - Panela is our go to ingredient for sweetening any dish, it's a good alternative to maple syrup, or regular sugar in tomato sauces or anything that needs a little extra sweetness.⠀
-⠀
🍹 Cocktails - We tried out a Gin Panela cocktail with @falmouthdistillingco Loveday Gin, sweet and refreshing, the perfect accompaniment to a summer evening.⠀
-⠀
And of course always good in tea or coffee! ☕️ ⠀
-⠀
Panela is available to pre-order now through the link in our bio. Ship Shop PZ 28th September. You can also collect from @argalhomefarm or we offer UK delivery.

In the first episode of their podcast host Holly is joined by Per Tunnell, COO of Wallenius Marine, to discuss the power of sails in modern-day shipping. An all round different vessel from the ships that we work with but with the same principal. It's good to see change beginning to happen in large scale shipping.⠀
-⠀
They talk about harnessing wind 🌬️ for a cleaner planet, how globalisation has been good for us and Wallenius's revolutionary new ship in the making, the Oceanbird, an enormous car carrier powered by sails....⠀

Have you ever thought about the health of your sal

Have you ever thought about the health of your salt - for you and the planet? 🌎 We spoke to our friend and founder of @lescaboteursdelune Alex Etourneau in Noirmoutier, home of the Coopérative de Sel to find out more.⠀
-⠀
What makes salt more or less healthy?⠀
'That’s not an easy question to answer. Partly, it’s a choice that comes down to the consumer: “Do I prefer to eat organically for my personal health, or for the health of the planet?”⠀
-⠀
I want to say that salt from quarries is probably healthier for your body, though it’s not produced or collected in the most environmentally friendly way. Salt mines are made up of very old layers of evaporated seawater. However, to collect that salt you need mechanical excavators and dynamite. On the other hand, in Noirmoutier we have sea salt. This salt may have a similar level of pollution as the ocean, but it is dried by the sun and the wind and collected through manual labour. I would say that the salt here is healthier for the overall good of the planet. ⠀
-⠀
Oh! And there’s one more difference between the salt from marshes and mines. The pools of the salt flats in Noirmoutier and Guérande, for instance, contain a bit of natural clay. When this salt is collected, a bit of clay goes with it. And with that clay comes a whole load of trace elements that are good for our health.'⠀
-⠀
One thing we know for sure is you really can taste the difference with Noirmoutier's salt, extra salty and in such beautiful flakes. Available to order through the link in our bio ↗️

We're loving this funky bottle design from @quintadarabiana 💛 This Pecebrico Branco is new to us this year. Crispy fresh and citrusy, with notes of apple and peach, this is a light and easy wine with good texture from the Vinho Verde region in northern Portugal.⠀

Healthy diet, healthy planet means… beans! 🌎

Healthy diet, healthy planet means… beans! 🌎 🌱⠀
Beans are the foundation of a low-impact and healthy diet - packed with more nutrients per gram than any other food on earth. Half a cup per day provide most of the vitamins and minerals you need. ⠀
⠀
Our beans are produced by the Reigado family on their farm in north east Portugal. Intercropped amongst their olive trees are are beans, peas and nuts and fruit. About as far away from intensive farming as you can get!⠀
⠀
To order your beans from the Reigado family head to the link in our bio. They will arrive on @blueschoonercompany at the end of September.⠀

"I would erase capitalism from people’s memory. I would change the world, basically. Of course, there are positive aspects to capitalism, but I’m referring to the way this system has manifested. This is one of my personal battles. And this is why Les Caboteurs de Lune has taken on a non-profit model. Our goal is not to make money, but to celebrate beautiful boats and healthy, affordable products, for everyone."⠀

Look who else is in port? The @timbercoast ship Avontuur is alongside @blueschoonercompany ship Gallant in the Port of Leixões, Portugal. Today the Gallant will load our cargo - olive oil, wine, almonds, honey and more. The ship will also load wine headed to Bristol for @Xistowines.⠀
-⠀
Glad to see that the port is recognising the opportunity of sail cargo by taking these great photos. We look forward to a prosperous and fossil-fuel-free future with the port and city of Porto.⠀

We are hiring!⠀

Are you passionate about food? Do you have endless patience and enthusiasm for chatting to all sorts of different people about it? Do you secretly (or not so secretly) love making and maintaining neat spreadsheets and get a thrill (or at least a pleasantly mild satisfaction) out of stock checks and accounting? If so, we need you.⠀
- ⠀
We are looking for a new Ship Shop Keeper, the final pair of hands that process our lovingly grown and expertly sailed cargo before it reaches our customers. You will mostly be working from our office near Falmouth, Cornwall, as well as attending regional markets and seeing our ships sail in.⠀
-⠀
This will be a part-time role with extra hours in the lead-up to Christmas plus plenty of potential to grow, skill-up and evolve along with us. Starting mid-September. See link in bio for further info and how to apply.⠀

Antifoul isn't something we often think about. As

Antifoul isn't something we often think about. As a sailor, it's that job that happens every year or so, is less than pleasant, but highly satisfying. Considering the purpose of antifoul is to stop marine growth on the bottom of boats, it is surprising the environmental cost is not more widely talked about.⠀
-⠀
Recent research has shown that around 20% of all microplastics in our seas come from the bottom of boats. By design, the paints used for antifouling contain heavy metals and are highly toxic. Large amounts of microplastics are used in the manufacturing process to help bind paint together. ⠀
-⠀
Studies are now showing that high volumes of the microplastic particles in marine coating are being found in some of our busiest shipping lanes. As the paint breaks down it is washed off ship's hulls by waves and the wind. These studies show that ships are leaving trails of microplastics in the water, just as planes leave vapour trails in the sky.⠀
-⠀
@cleansailors have written a great article about the effects of antifoul, but more importantly the solutions. They highlight some great alternatives including @finsulate a film that is biocide-free and can last up to 7 years. Link to the article in our bio.⠀
