It is a soy sauce farm store
——A new type of grain and oil store in the healing community
It is also a zero-package eco-friendly Sanda store
Unpackaged stores
Everything can be sanded
In July of this year
This newly opened soy sauce farm shop in Panyu District
It has attracted the attention of many Panyu people
"We advocate for on-demand purchases, breaking the status quo of excessive packaging and food waste, and experiencing an eco-friendly and healthy lifestyle." Gao Chengming, the manager of the soy sauce farm store, said that "zero waste in Sanda" and "sustainable packaging" are the business philosophy of the soy sauce farm supermarket.
Entered the soy sauce farm supermarket for the first time
The neat rows of shelves are eye-catching
Firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, nutritious fruits and vegetables
Casual snacks, natural hydrosols
Toiletries, healthy drinks
……
Over here
You can find many natural and healthy daily necessities
But it's different from the average store
To shop here, you need to bring your own "equipment"
In this small shop of dozens of square meters, almost every product is sold in the form of environmentally friendly sanda, soy sauce, rice, vinegar, salt, vegetables, dried fruits, ...... Each commodity has removed the complicated plastic or plastic bottle packaging, and packed them in glass jars, clay jars, iron drums with valve ports, or placed in squares, and customers bring bottles, cans and paper bags, and they need to fill as much as they want, just like the grocery stores and grain and oil stores on the streets in ancient times, with affection and temperature.
"When I was a child, my mother used to let me take the bottle to make soy sauce, and now with the soy sauce farm store, my children can also experience the way of making soy sauce in the past. Finding bottles and cans at home, jumping all the way, making soy sauce has become a particularly interesting thing. Ms. Zeng, a customer, said that the soy sauce farm store allowed her to relive her childhood memories and pass on an environmentally friendly and sustainable lifestyle to the next generation.
It is not difficult for careful people to find that there are many small electronic scales, pens and sticky notes placed all over the store, because in the process of purchasing, customers need to weigh and tare the utensils first, and then weigh the goods again after filling, and then write the name and weight of the goods on the sticky notes and paste them on the surface of the container after weighing. "Every step can be done by yourself, and it is very rewarding to practice the concept of environmental protection." The customer Xiao Xu said.
When you enter the store, you will find that the "second-hand circulation area" next to the door is placed with many containers and packaging, which are idle items brought by the old customers of the store from home, and bottles, cans, and environmental bags are cleaned up and brightened for customers to take for free.
"These bottles, cans, and packaging bags used to be put aside at home or discarded directly as garbage, but now they can be recycled and brought here for use by those who need them, which I think is more environmentally friendly and meaningful." An old guest aunt said. This way of circulating things also allows love to flow between neighbors.
With such an eco-friendly, sustainable and zero-waste store, customers soon learned to bring their own bottles, cans and eco-bags to buy things, and the environmentally friendly and plastic-reducing and sustainable green lifestyle started from the community and became a trend.
She chooses
Bring plateau organic agricultural products to Panyu
Gao Chengming, the manager of the Guangzhou store of the soy sauce farm store, said, "It is also quite fateful to meet the soy sauce store, I happened to be starting a business at the time, and the soy sauce is also a project in development, so I was very interested." In general, it was the commonality of environmental protection and vegetarianism that made me meet Soy Sauce and was lucky enough to become the manager of the first soy sauce store in Guangzhou. ”
Panyu
It is a dozen soy sauce farm shop
The first directly-operated store in Guangzhou
Why choose to open in Panyu?
"At that time, we also inspected various areas in Guangzhou, and the strong atmosphere of life, the slightly slower pace of life, and the abundant farm resources were the key to our choice of Panyu." In this regard, Gao Chengming said this. Compared with the fast-paced life in the central city of Guangzhou, Panyu seems to be warmer and more humane, and it seems more appropriate to open a soy sauce farm store here.
"I hope that more people can farm healthily and more people can eat pure food with the original juice and taste." As Gao Chengming said, it is hoped that more people will choose to consume ecological organic products, and drive the supply side to reduce the encroachment of chemicals on the land from planting. "The fruits and vegetables come from local organic farms, and they are picked on the same day. Oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, rice, flour, grains, and toiletries come from the plateau thousands of miles away. Gao Chengming said that the soy sauce farm supermarket has its own organic farm in Yunnan, and behind every product, there are small farmers and craftsmen who work hard and traditional craftsmanship that is worth protecting.
In order to let Panyu people taste the taste of Dali's rice fields thousands of miles away, Gao Chengming also brought the rice series brand independently developed by soy sauce - "Drink a Cup of Rice Fields" to Panyu. "Drink a Cup of Rice Field" focuses on healthy and light food, using embryo rice directly supplied by the plateau organic farm and sugar-controlled whole brown rice as raw materials, hand-made original rice milk, rice balls, and ice cream, each category has a fragrant and intoxicating taste.
"Order a glass of rice milk and savor it in the relaxation area, and you will always be fascinated by the rich aroma of rice, as if you are in the depths of a rice field. In addition, the rice ball is a perfect match, and every time I come here, I sit for half a day. Xiaolan is a loyal fan of playing soy sauce and "drinking a cup of rice field", and in her spare time, she always likes to come here to empty herself, not for anything else, just to find the most authentic taste of life.
"I think soy sauce will be a window for people who want to pay attention to environmental protection and health." For the future of the soy sauce farm store, Gao Chengming is full of confidence. "For example, we have now created a tea break area on the second floor, where we can regularly organize some small activities related to disconnection, environmental protection, and healthy eating." She looks forward to continuing to do green things and influencing more people through the platform of the soy sauce farm store.
"Back to the Past"
Contribute to the construction of green and beautiful Panyu
In fact
Like the soy sauce farm supermarket this environmentally friendly Sanda model
It's just a "back to the old" way of life
I remember when I was a child, it was a child's exclusive task to help the family make soy sauce, and when I went with a green glass bottle, I could play as many as I wanted, and often a few dime notes could bring a full bottle of soy sauce. With the development of the times, the days of soy sauce are getting farther and farther away from us, and soy sauce has become a packaged consumer product, but looking back, this way of making soy sauce contains a very good environmental protection concept.
The lifestyle that once faded out of sight has returned to the present, and what we see is the rise of "environmental protection" and "sustainability". At this point, the soy sauce farm store has given us a good inspiration: environmentally sustainable packaging, healthy and simple life is actually better.
In fact, whether it is the eco-friendly sanda promoted by the soy sauce farm store, or the supermarket to bring your own eco-friendly bag, or to the coffee shop to bring your own cup...... These gradually emerging business models coincide with the construction of "zero-waste cities" vigorously promoted by the state in recent years.
In recent years, in order to further promote the construction of "zero-waste cities" and promote the green and low-carbon transformation of cities, Panyu District has taken the lead in launching the construction of "zero-waste counties" pilot demonstration areas, taking multiple measures at the same time, focusing on giving full play to the demonstration and leading role of "zero-waste cells" and typical cases, and promoting the comprehensive development of the construction of "zero-waste cities" from point to area. In 2023, Panyu District will build 208 "zero-waste cells", ranking third in the city, contributing Panyu's experience to helping Guangzhou successfully build a beautiful Guangzhou and build a model of a beautiful Chinese city.
At present, Panyu District is also widely mobilizing citizens to participate in the practice of a simple, moderate, green and low-carbon lifestyle, advocating waste reduction and packaging reduction, and contributing to the construction of a green and beautiful Panyu.
