t Earthy Crunch UK, we’re proud of what we’ve built — a small, thoughtful, community-driven space for those who understand the joy of the crunch. But pride doesn’t mean perfection, and honesty is part of our ethos. So here’s a little self-audit: what we could do better, and what we’re doing about it.
What we could do better: More consistent stock availability
Our response:
There’s method to this madness. Keeping stock small and fresh isn’t about scarcity — it’s about quality. Every batch is freshly made or freshly sourced, ensuring your treats are crisp, aromatic, and flavourful, not dry or crumbly from sitting too long.
We don’t want massive piles of old stock gathering dust. Smaller, more frequent restocks mean you get fresher textures, truer flavours, and higher satisfaction. It’s a little unpredictable, but it keeps things exciting — every drop feels like a new discovery.
What we could do better: Clearer visuals and descriptions
Our response:
We completely understand how important visuals are — there’s nothing like seeing that perfect snap or hearing that clean crunch. But filming, editing, and uploading takes a lot of time, especially as I’m still managing Earthy Crunch UK alongside a full-time job.
Over time, this content library will grow, but in the meantime, I love when the community shares their own videos, photos, and reviews. If you’d like to contribute to texture or taste descriptions, or even send in a quick clip, I’d love to feature more community voices on the site.
What we could do better: More interactive community features
Our response:
We’re always looking for ways to make Earthy Crunch UK feel more connected. I’m currently exploring ways for you to submit content directly through the website — from stash photos and reviews to your own experiences and insights.
It’s about making ECUK not just a shop, but a shared space where everyone can celebrate and discuss their cravings safely and openly.
What we could do better: Continuous education and transparency
Our response:
Education and openness are big parts of what Earthy Crunch UK stands for. I’m currently developing “Meet the Maker” profiles so you can learn more about the artisans behind our treats — their stories, techniques, and regional traditions.
I’m also inviting guest blogs from trusted community voices to bring a range of perspectives on texture, taste, and the cultural side of geophagy. The more knowledge we share, the stronger and more informed our community becomes.
What we could do better: Testing clays for metals and other trace materials
Our response:
Safety is key. We’ve purchased a testing kit for metals and trace materials, and any self-foraged clays are tested before they ever make it near a shop listing. That said, time is a factor — so for now, testing is done gradually and carefully.
In the meantime, I only source from reputable vendors who have been trusted within the geophagy community for years. These suppliers are known for their hygiene standards and consistency, and I rely on their track record — and your ongoing feedback — while I build a more regular testing routine.
It’s a blend of science and trust for now, but the goal is full verification and transparency across every product in time.
The Crunchy Conclusion
Earthy Crunch UK isn’t about perfection — it’s about care, honesty, and continuous improvement. Every order, review, and shared thought helps shape how we grow.
We’ll always prioritise freshness, safety, and authenticity, while working behind the scenes to make things clearer, crunchier, and even more community-driven.
Always improving. Always listening. Always crunchy.
