New owner at organics store

An organics store in Woy Woy has changed hands.

Birgit Stech, massage therapist of Umina, has purchased the Gnostic Organics Market at Woy Woy.

"I have always had a passion for organic food and now selling it and being able to increase the community's awareness of the value of organic food is a highlight in my life," Ms Stech said.

"You are what you eat, so if you're eating healthy, chemical-free food, it's the best health insurance you can have.

"And you're supporting an improved environment."

Ms Stech said that Gnostic Organics not only stocked fresh produce, it also had a large range of dry goods, available in bulk or packaged, and bread and meat.

"And proving very successful already is the new range of sustainable living, eco-friendly and environmental energy products such as safe drinking bottles," Ms Stech said.

"We all deal with a cocktail of geopathic and electro-stress, now rapidly growing around the world.

"Using energy devices based on proven scientific principles helps to reduce the increasing burden of environmental and internal toxins on the body, mind and soul and should result in less stress, better sleep and more energy.

"Gnostic Organics' mark-up is less than a conventional fruit and veg shop so that organic produce remains affordable," Ms Stech said.
