WELCOME TO ABUNDANCE FOODS!
Abundance Foods
​Independent Artisan treats based in Leeds

​TRUFFLES, 
​TREATS
​&
DESSERTS 
​YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE ARE 
HANDMADE INDULGENT NATURAL​


REAL FOOD. REAL TASTE.

I work in a truly Artisan way, making everything by hand from less processed, natural ingredients that you can pronounce.
​
This makes your treat choices simple, honest and I think, better for you...!

All products are made using ingredients that are:
Non-gluten containing, and without:
Dairy,
 
Wheat, 
Soy(a),
Refined Sugar,
​Eggs,
Palm oil (unless from sustainable sources),
GMOs, and
Artificial additives*
So you can literally "Treat Yourself Better"!

Perfect if you want to make more natural treat choices, are a vegan or vegetarian, or just want to enjoy your treats without any unnecessary chemicals and processing!
​
Much of my range is also made to a no-bake or "raw" recipe. Please don't be afraid of raw food! I believe it's one of the healthiest ways to eat nature's amazing food!
​​Put your mind at ease here and see if you agree.

An Abundant Life
Food as nourishment is a really important part of my business's ethos because...it's a really important part of my personal ethos!

That's why I insist on using all natural insist on using ingredients as close to natural as possible, and that are both cruelty free and kind to our eco and food systems.

Of course, there is so much more to consider than just the content of the products itself, and with sustainability close to my heart, I've gone to great lengths to source packaging that is either made from recycled materials or capable of being recycled or up-cycled. 

I personally think we are custodians of this planet, and it is our responsibility to deal with all species with kindness, love, and compassion. Just like any person who loves and cares for us, the earth gives us all we need to survive and prosper. So just as we would do to that person, we need to treat the earth with respect and consideration. It took me some time to find the right packaging that was either made from recycled materials, can be recycled or composted, or can be re-used or re-purposed, and ideally all of the above, and I've nearly done it!

For example, unlike most truffle box packaging, I do not use wasteful cushion pads, petit four cases and plastic tray inserts in your truffle boxes. Instead I use a grid insert system, made from sustainable sourced recyclable materials, along with recycled glassine paper (for the 12 box of truffles). There's one piece of plastic in the 6 truffle boxes, which is made from recycled plastics. 
​
I want to start living on our planet in a way that I know is possible, but that we've sadly seen little of up to now. A way in which there's an abundance of healthy, nourishing food for everyone, and all our basic human needs are met, without environmental exploitation and destruction. Personally, and through my business, I commit to being the change I want to see.

I'd really appreciate it if you, as my customer, would recycle, re-use, compost or upcycle my packaging, and sterilise, re-use and / or recycle my glass or plastic containers. Much of the packaging I use for my postal deliveries is packaging I've re-used.

Here are some ideas on how you can re-purpose, reuse and recycle mine and any other packaging.
​Truffle Box & Grid inserts 
These are made from sustainable, food safe cardboard. The box and grid inserts are recyclable & compostable. Boxes with compartments for individual chocolates are great for storing beads, buttons, screws & washers jewellery, craft supplies etc.

​6 truffle Box Window & Hamper Cellophane
Sadly, these are made from plastic! However, I’m working on finding a source that's that has at least been recycled already. They can be recycled with your other plastic waste. Alternatively, if you’re a Crafter, I’m sure you could find a use for them in one of your creations, or you could make something fun with your children. The window also makes a great storage container on your desk for things like paper clips, rubber bands etc.

Dessert pots & lids
These are made from recycled plastic and can be recycled again in your green bin. You can also wash them out and use them around the kitchen for storing things like left over foods and herbs.

Biodegradable Dessert pots

If your pot has a green recycle logo on the top of it, it means it’s made from renewable materials made from plants. Visit vegware.com for biodegrading info

Paper bags, Postal boxes and packaging
I recycle all bubble wrap and packing materials that I receive from suppliers. These are often already made from recycled materials, and can be recycled again in your green bin, and where stated are also compostable. They can also be reused to give gifts or store things in. If you're a Crafter, they can be re-used for all kinds of projects.

Packing Wotsits

You know, those packaging things that basically look like Wotsits (minus the cheesy coating). Some are compostable, others are suitable for recycling in your green bin. You could also contact schools and churches to see if they can be donated for reuse in art projects.


Gel Packs
These pre-filled chilled gel packs are used to keep your products as cool as possible while in transit. They are non-toxic, completely food safe, reusable and 100% recyclable! 

You can keep them in the freezer and reuse them over and over again as lunch box coolers, for picnics or even to reduce the swelling on joints or sprains. 


If you do want to dispose of them, simply cut the corner of the pack and dispose of the contents through the normal domestic waste system. The contents are benign, given the dilution of the polymer and purification of the water they are not at all harmful to the environment. The outer film is also totally recyclable as LDPE 4.
​

​




​
Organza Ribbon 
Made from nylon and metallic yarn, the ribbon can be recycled in your green bin. You can also reuse it by attaching it the next gift you give to someone. If you’re a Crafter, it will look great on a hand-made card, or use it to make something fun with your children, or to tie their pony tails!

Glass Jars 
These can easily be recycled along with your other bottles at your local bottle bank. They also make great storage containers for herbs, spices etc. Or use them to store your toiletries, like cotton wool or buds. If you do a search on Pinterest for ideas for reusing glass jars, an abundance of ideas will come up.

Seagrass Hamper Baskets 
They make attractive storage containers all around the house, for odds and ends, pot pourri, toiletries, make up, socks etc. Try them out inside your wardrobe or even stacked on top. Please donate to a charity shop if you have no use for it. The shredded paper is recyclable and compostable or keep it and use it when you next need to pack and transport fragile items. It also makes great nesting material for pet gerbils, hamsters and rabbits.
Organza Bows
These bows are made from synthetic fibres, so can be recycled in your green bin. I actually put quite a bit of thought into selecting these bows, so that they can also be re-used.
​ 
They come flat-packed, and I pull on the central cord to make them into a bow. This means that you can gently pull on the cord to put it back down again ready for re-using.

Perfect if you're crafter, or you can re-use it on the next gift you give to someone

Eco Pouches

All EcoPack Kraft Paper pouches are 100% compostable (including the re sealable Zipper). Alternatively, you can wipe them out using a sanitiser and re-use them to store your own things in!

​Thank you X

Thank you Marcia, your cheesecake was absolutely delicious! As predicted, it didn't last long. ​Thanks again
​Abi
Just wanted to say the cheesecakes were boooom!! Enjoyed by all and turned our wet and chilly birthday gathering in the woods into a flavour rave!
Shinghai, Leeds
I must say it's great to have healthy chocolate and cake that quench my craving, I don't feel hungry after, it's amazing really, it takes away unhealthy cravings and works well for me. 😁 
Nakita, Leeds

Thank you so much for the truffles and cheesecake. I've been looking for natural raw desserts in the area for ages and then I came across your site. The strawberry cheesecake was amazing and all the truffles tasted Devine especially the caramel one-gorgeous. So glad i found you. Brilliant personal service as well.
Emma, Leeds

Let's talk AMAZING vegan salted caramel sauce from @abundancefoodsleeds! It's amazing, it tastes better than 'regular' caramel, and it has a richer and deeper flavour made from coconut sugar. 
Preye, Manchester

Well, Well, Well Abundance Foods - you have done it again! The raw luscious lime cheesecake is absolutely divine! It's rich, smooth and just enough sweetness to balance the tartness of the lime. Gorgeous, thank you
​Tracey, Leeds
I started [eating your salted caramel] with a spoon out of the jar then I had the rest with cheese and crackers. It’s so delicious that you have to put a warning on the label! May cause you to hide and eat it all by yourself!
Carmen, Nottingham
I was lucky enough to come across Marcia at a vegan & yoga event I was working at. Immediately she was so welcoming and helpful, I bought a number of her delicious homemade goodies as at the time I was following a strict dairy free diet but craved something sweet! Both myself and my husband enjoyed her desserts so much, that I ordered more. Marcia the very next day, delivered them to my house! Fantastic service and delicious and nutritious treats. I can't wait to sample the whole range on offer!!
​Ruth, Leeds
"Marcia's chocolate truffles are simply the best. Perfect taste and texture and beautifully presented. Showing that healthy treats can not only be greater but better than the rest."
​Dean, Leeds
"I'm so grateful that you went out of your way to make a cake and put icing on it for me. It is honestly the best vegan cake I have ever tasted."
