Food as it should be<br />
LOCATED at the foot of Soleares Ave in Mt<br />
Pleasant is an amazing little business that is big on<br />
nutrition - Mumma Bear.<br />
The busy kitchen/shop produces healthy, nutritious<br />
mueslis, porridges, granolas, crackers and bars that<br />
are made with wholegrains, fruit, nuts and seeds. All<br />
the good stuff that keeps us fueled for longer!<br />
Owner/operator Rose Lindley, aka Mumma Bear to<br />
her family and friends, has a lifelong love of preparing<br />
great food.<br />
“I’m a foodie and I used to write recipes for a health<br />
and fitness website,” said Rose. “It’s always been my<br />
dream to open my own food business.”<br />
Rose said up until she opened the Mt Pleasant<br />
production kitchen two years ago, she used to drive<br />
out to a commercial kitchen in Lincoln to make her<br />
products. Back then she had two products. She is now<br />
producing sixteen!<br />
“At Mumma Bear we believe that food should both<br />
taste great and have a healthy nutritional profile. My<br />
husband Tim is retired and he was a food scientist, so<br />
he does all my nutritional stuff.”<br />
But the good taste of Mumma Bear isn’t just<br />
available at the Mt Pleasant production kitchen. You<br />
can find it at some of the local weekend farmers<br />
markets.<br />
“We’re open every Wednesday from <strong>10</strong>am to 4pm<br />
or anytime you see ‘Doris the bike’ outside, but we<br />
encourage you to bring your own containers to help<br />
reduce waste.”<br />
You’ll also find them at the Farmers Market in<br />
both Lyttelton and Deans Bush from 9am to 1pm<br />
on Saturdays and at the Opawa Farmers Market on<br />
Sundays selling pre-packed goods. Online orders are<br />
also available at www.mummab.co.nz or by emailing<br />
tim@mummab.co.nz.<br />
But Rose’s passion extends further than nutrition.<br />
She is a retired recovery nurse who recently traveled<br />
to West Africa to volunteer for aid work on the Mercy<br />
Ship.<br />
“The Mercy Ships organisation is more than 30<br />
years old. They provide free medical and surgical care<br />
for impoverished people along the coast of Africa.<br />
There is a huge stigma about disability there, it is<br />
considered a curse. These people are ostracised from<br />
their communities because they are disfigured so they<br />
come to the ship,” explained Rose. “I was on it for<br />
three weeks. Some volunteers are on it for two weeks<br />
and the longest person has been on it for 30 years. I<br />
wish I had done it when I was in my 20’s. I would have<br />
gone back, but it’s a bit late now, it is a long journey<br />
to travel. Mercy Ships is Mumma Bear’s charity of<br />
choice.”<br />
