Yaoh - New Kid On The Block
From A Vegan Guide To Bristol 2004.
Bristol based hemp company Yaoh has only been in business since August 2002, but when it comes to their main product, green bodycare, it's gone straight in to the UK top ten and stayed there.
Using hemp in every product, as much organic ingredients as possible, and a deliberate avoidance of suspect or toxic ingredients, their well formulated and effective range is enhanced further by superb packaging, bringing the whole range bang into the 21st century, using cutting edge Bristol artists Dan Broughton and Nick Walker.
Yaoh has made its mark on a marketing level, managing to get taken on by 7 out of the 10 major UK distributors of natural products within its first year, acheiving comprehensive nationwide distribution within record times for a new company, especially considering the wealth of new products released every day.
Now branching into hemp food products, Yaoh has already firmly made its mark by producing a completely raw organic hemp bar, using only fruit, seed and nuts and not cooking any of it, thereby preserving the full Essential Fatty Acid spectrum that is so often lost through heat.
With the most superb tasting hemp oil now on the market (Organic Chinese, very mild taste) as well as several raw hemp bars and with a lot more in development, Yaoh will surely be around for years to come.
Yaoh are also largely responsible for the Bristol Vegan Fayre as well as this guide. They have a firm commitment to helping several charities, such as The Vegan Society. and Vegfam, as well as independents and small busunesses in general. They were also the driving force behind 2003's best Bristol party - the ClubYeyo reunion featuring Bez from the Happy Mondays, as well as Lupine Howl and Rob Smith which took place after the Bristol Vegan Fayre.
Some year, huh. With a lot more to come, beleive!
You'll find the full Yaoh range available from Wild Oats, Earthbound, Better Food Company, Health Unlimited and Harvest in Bristol and Bath.
