Who wants a free kiss? 😘

Ricky the magician got a little carried away… 🪄🍍

So he quickly fixed it and turned it into our Probiotic Pineapple Gummies instead 🙌✨

Now safely back in stock in store, no funny business, just good gut health 😉🍍

We are open!

Business as usual: 11-5 Monday to Saturday.
Pop in for a cuppa, a chat or some CBD 💚

For everyone wondering what’s happening with the fundraiser: following the advice of his solicitor, Ricky has made the decision not to buy the shop for various reasons as explained in the video below.

Thank you to all our loyal customers who donated and supported us during this difficult time.

We’ll be staying open for the time being as Ricky is continuing to rent the building.

Although the future is unknown, the Cheeba Cheeba community is what keeps us going 💪

Turkey Tail isn’t some synthetic invention. It’s not new. It’s not exotic. It’s a fungus that’s been part of European ecosystems for centuries, with a long history of traditional use — and yet it’s now been labelled a “novel food” in the UK.

That single label means massive authorisation costs and endless red tape, making it impossible for small, independent businesses to offer it at all.

Even more frustrating is the timing.

Turkey Tail is currently the subject of serious scientific interest, particularly for its unique polysaccharides, which are being studied in fields like immune support and oncology. In countries like Japan, extracts have been used alongside conventional treatments for decades. Meanwhile, in the UK, access is being quietly choked off before proper exploration can even happen.

Instead of encouraging research, discussion, and responsible use, the system has chosen to block it through bureaucracy.

A natural organism. Found in our own forests. With centuries of history. Studied by modern science.

And yet, somehow, it’s considered too “novel” for the UK.

Make it make sense.
