Production & Transparency
Village for mama is an Australian designed and printed book and it has a higher price point than a lot of books you may find online or at Kmart, Big W, Amazon etc.
Firstly village for mama has been self published and initial outlay for creation has come straight out of pocket. It is much cheaper to produce and print a book overseas however it is incredibly important to me (Leila) to support my local community of incredibly talented women and mothers.
This idea has also come to life in the wake of the COVID 19 pandemic which has further highlighted the need to support local business and production. By printing this book in Australia, the extra expense has enabled me to ensure a sustainable printing journey and true Australian made quality.
Village for mama is also so much more than a recipe book. It is a tool to help the modern mama gather her village. Each recipe has a corresponding recipe gift card which has a prewritten letter to help mamas explain the importance of their fourth trimester to their nearest and dearest.
Thank you for investing in village for mama, I am truely grateful for your purchase.
By purchasing this book you are:
- facilitating a well nourished and supported fourth trimester for a mama to be.
- encouraging an Australian made and printed book
- supporting local Australian recipe developer, naturopath, photographers, graphic designer, editor and printing company (Madeleine, Brook, Jenna, Juliette, Kayla, Kristie, Sue and Complete Colour)
- supporting sustainable green printing. Printing on FSC certified paper with 100% vegetable based inks at a solar powered facility in Melbourne, Victoria.
- allowing Leila to self publish with love.
