A TRIBUTE
We all started somewhere. For us, this is a paid tribute to Elena’s beloved Grandmother Rosita from Vigo in Galicia, Northwest Spain. That’s why our name is Grandma Sita, Sita is short for Rosita. From early on in Elena’s childhood, she spent a long time with her grandmother, who taught her about the importance of seasonal eating and generally the true value of food. The way Grandma Sita and her generation have minimized their waste is very much about living a simple and minimalistic life.
Grandmothers are changemakers
contributing to a better world for the next generations.
