25.01.2022 We won’t be at the market tomorrow (sadly and sorry!) but we still highly recommend visiting @inthehanginggarden Green Grocer Market and we’ll hopefully see you there again next Saturday!

23.01.2022 We’re missing hosting tastings! And looking forward to be able to again very soon

23.01.2022 We have some exciting news (*Sorry we’ve been so quiet on here recently - too busy in the kitchen ). As many of you know, a few months ago we started selling our baru nut butters at local farmers markets in Hobart and we've now launched, as requested , a limited edition of TBP's baru nut butters on our web store. Starting with four flavours: Calcium Power, Antioxidant Power, Iron Power and Baru Power. So if there’s something specific you feel your body would benefi...t from that’s your butter. Alternatively, if you are more excited by flavours there’s a flavour for everyone, from chocolaty goodness to crunchy original. How do you eat them? With everything toast, sandwiches, celery sticks, slices of apple, in baking, on vegetables, on porridge and of course by the spoonful! Photo thanks to the amazing @ellalucyphoto

20.01.2022 Baru is often called ’the gold of the Cerrado’ by indigenous people in Brazil both for the golden glow of the tree and its fruit and also the preciousness of the nut with its nutritional and medicinal power.

19.01.2022 How good does this baru meal (how do you make it? Blend or mortar and pestle a handful of baru nuts) look sprinkled over these muffins? Compliments of @eliza.m.freeman . These were our morning tea yesterday Thank you Eliza.

19.01.2022 Bream Creek Market is sparkling this morning! Come visit today 9-1 The music is amazing, the food and drinks are amazing and so is the sun

17.01.2022 Happy July 1 - some snaps from yesterday posting our final order for the 2020 financial year! The Baru Project has now completed its first financial year Thank you for all of the support for The Baru Project already We are loving introducing the incredibly nutritious and yummy baru nut to Australia and are more determined than ever to continue helping restore and preserve the Cerrado’s amazing, but sadly very threatened, ecosystem, as well as creating valuable and meaningful employment for Cerrado locals. If ever you’d like to know more about the work we’re doing with TBP please visit our website. Thanks again @ Australia Post

16.01.2022 It’s one of our favourite times of the year. Thiago and our co-op are out on the Cerrado foraging for windfall baru nuts. We are so thankful for each harvest and always leave one third of the fruit on the forest floor. Much of the remaining fruit will become food for animals and a few of the seeds will germinate to become new trees p.s. It’s spring in Brazil too

14.01.2022 Thiago, one of our 3 co-founders. 3-and-a-bit things about Thiago: 1. He’s a food forest expert and is passionate about preserving the threatened Cerrado ecosystem 2. He lives in Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, that lies in the Cerrado region. 3. He looks after everything The Baru Project related in Brazil!

09.01.2022 We had our 1st market stall last week and will have our 2nd and 3rd this week - come visit us at The Hanging Garden Green Grocer this Friday and Saturday In The Hanging Garden Last Friday, was a wonderful (despite being freezing) day! Many thanks for all of the love and support from everyone who visited and to the market team - who even found a big bean bag for Lua to have a play then sleep on - and special thank you to all the people who offered extra jackets & jumpers etc t...o keep her warm (swipe for the photo of rugged up sleeping baby ). Hopefully see you at this week’s market! A good weekend for feasting and making merry for the winter solstice despite the lack of Dark Mofo . . . p.s. we released 3 new products at last weeks market (look out for next post with photos) and we have another new product coming out this week...! It’s so nice to finally be ready to share some more of the things we’ve been researching and developing for so long thank you to everyone that’s helped us get here, especially to all of our ‘tasters’ @ In The Hanging Garden See more

08.01.2022 Thank you @levi_dance for sharing this photo - taken at our first market stall @inthehanginggarden a few Friday eves ago Our new slot is Saturdays (not Friday - sorry to @zara_flynn who asked where we were today and anyone else that looked for us...). Looking forward to seeing some of you tomorrow 9-3, 112 Murray St (entry points kind of opposite the library or next to the Odeon)

07.01.2022 If you'd like to learn more about the Cerrado in about two and a half minutes watch this video ! The Cerrado is the region baru comes from and is often referred to as the upside down forest...watch this to find out why. Created by WWF-Brasil

06.01.2022 Gloria Boughey, aka (Anna’s) grandma showing off her favourite nut

05.01.2022 Have you tried...baru nuts yet? They’re definitely our favourite nut they’re super delicious, super healthy and super good for our planet - people, flora and fauna

03.01.2022 Flora, fauna, and people - these are the 3 things that motivate everything we do here at The Baru Project so we commissioned the very amazing artist @channarongsds to bring them to life. Swipe to see all three illustrations The baru tree, representing the whole Cerrado biome (you’ve probably already seen the tree as it’s the stamp on our packaging with the gold dots we placed over it to represent baru) A toucan (there’s no toucan emoji! Yet...) ‘to represent the C...errado’s 2,373 animals, approximately one-fifth of which are endemic’ (CEPF) Pedrinho, our co-op leader. . . . Baru is an incredibly nutritious food, it is a key plant needed in preserving and restoring the Cerrado biome, and (something very close to our hearts) it has the potential to have a very positive impact on the lives of many underprivileged local rural workers in the Cerrado. @ Hobart, Tasmania

02.01.2022 Thiago holding windfall baru fruit - inside each fruit there will be one baru nut

02.01.2022 Sorry for forgetting to share these on here last week! Now available to buy each Saturday from 9-3 In the Hanging Garden’s Green Grocer Market (we’ll let you know if that changes). From left to right our Original Baru Nut Butter, Baru-tella, and Kale pesto! All loaded with baru nut goodness, vegan, organic where possible and otherwise we do our best to source spray-free, and always delicious . . . Yes it was raining last week the whole market is actually under an amazing roof though (swipe to see) so the market can carry on rain or shine - these 3 just got a bit wet when Ricardo took them for an outing to have some photos taken... Come visit us at the market this Saturday @ In The Hanging Garden
