VOLL PROTEIN SHAKE

wood & field, our young company, is our answer to the increasing demand for healthy and sustainable products, which are also enjoyable, of high quality and convenient for everyday life.

In the beginning there was the own need for a convenient snack that tastes good and gives energy for our busy everyday life. Ready-to-drink protein shakes seemed to be the perfect products. But none of them satisfied our requirements: way too sweet, with a too heavy texture and too artificial. And no trace of sustainability and transparency.

We quickly realized: Not only we have this problem! And with our many years of experience in the food industry and a lot of enthusiasm, we decided to take matters into our own hands. First in our own kitchen, but at the beginning of 2018 we found a sympathetic and professional production partner.

After a year of development, our idea is finally ready for the market - and with your support we would be able to produce ready-to-sell shakes for the first time this fall. So that not only we, but soon you and all of Switzerland, too, can enjoy our product.

In order to have a real chance against the food giants and to be able to make a real contribution to sustainable production, we must be able to produce economically from the very beginning. All the development work so far has been carried out self-financed, as cheaply as possible, with the help of friends and supporters.

Now, before the first production, we need to make an investment that we can no longer afford to pay all alone: almost CHF 10,000 for packaging material, printing and raw materials - for one of the two varieties (voll Beeri). Everything we collect above the collection goal brings us closer to be able to produce the second variety (voll Mocca) as well. And to reduce even more food waste!

Food waste is the avoidable waste of food that was actually produced for human consumption. One third of all food is lost. In Switzerland, that's 2'500'000 tons or 300 kg per person in one year!

We use fresh Swiss whey for our shakes, which contains valuable whey protein.

Whey is a big topic regarding food loss in Switzerland. Every year around 1.3 million tonnes of whey accrue as by-products in cheese production. Around ¾ of it is wasted. We bring Swiss whey back into the human diet, in a pleasurable way.

Openness, trust and motivation to learn from each other connects us with our partners.

Our production partner is the Liechtensteiner Milchhof in Schaan around the managing director Josef Schuler.

Other supporters will support our crowdfunding project by donating goodies or providing a pick-up point for the goodie shakes: Milchhof Schaan (pick-up point and goodie bags), CrossFit Second Home (CrossFit lessons and Second Home goodies), Larosa Workouts Bülach (personal trainings, BoxingFit group lessons, massages), Züger Frischkäse in Oberbüren (pick-up point), Chäs Glogge Jona (pick-up point), Shop in Zurich City (pick-up point - tbd, will be announced asap)

The first production of the shakes is expected to take place in October 2018. We'll let you know two weeks in advance when you can pick up the goodie shakes. And talk to you where you want to pick them up. Please note the possible pick-up locations in the description. You will have to pick them up there within two weeks.

Should the first regular production be delayed much further, we will ensure that you get an equivalent alternative (original product, but possibly in a different packaging) - at the latest in November 2018.
