A personal note from the founders
The truth is simple:
We can’t keep living like this.
We can’t keep consuming more than what the planet can give.
We can’t keep filling our plates with food that depletes our health, disconnects us from nature, and erodes the fabric of our communities.
And yet — that’s what’s happening.
Most of the food we consume today is processed and filled with additives rather than a source of nourishment. It’s designed to be cheap, convenient, and addictive, but not to nourish. Not to mention the lack of care for the soil, the farmer, or the person eating it. Its impact is showing up in rising emissions, in failing health, in a growing sense of disconnection.
Maybee was born from the belief that we can do better.
Rethinking Food, Rebuilding Society
We started Maybee because we want to change how we interact with food, as individuals and as a society. We are strong believers that food isn’t just fuel, it’s a powerful force that allows us to live out our dreams and possibilities. A daily decision that touches everything:
- Our health — what we eat shapes how we feel, both now and in the long run.
- Our environment — food systems account for over a third of global emissions.
- Our communities — the way we produce and share food can either build or break local economies.
At Maybee, our mission is to help build a sustainable lifestyle — one that respects limits, celebrates local, and supports human and planetary wellbeing.
Eating Mindful
Maybee is a brand built on the foundation of eating sustainable food with consideration and care. Everything we offer is:
- 100% vegetarian
- Cooked with seasonal, local ingredients
- Crafted to support a low-carbon, low-waste food system
We want to create a positive change to our planet before it’s too late. Choose foods which will taste better whilst also caring for the environment around us.
Food as a Force for Good
At Maybee, we believe food should nourish more than our bodies. It should support farmers. It should protect the planet. And it should bring people together.
We created Maybee because we want to show that eating better — even just once a week — can have a huge impact.
- A vegetarian meal just one day a week can cut your CO₂ emissions by 5%, and going vegetarian can cut your emissions by up to 30%.
- Reducing or replacing ultra-processed food helps reduce obesity and cardiovascular diseases
- Procuring from local producers not only promotes local business and ensures wealth is kept within the countries we are operating in, but also contributes to maintaining a durable and healthy society, for the benefit of all generations.
We wanted to make that easier.
And a bit more beautiful.
So we opened Maybee.
A Local Table, for Everyone
We wanted Maybee to be a place where food brings people together and where every dish tells a story of care and connection.
We work with local growers and producers because we want to support our local community and spread the fruits of their labour.
We keep our menu seasonal, because the planet has a rhythm worth respecting.
We make food with warmth, because that’s what makes it worth sharing.
This Is a Beginning
Maybee is just one small step. But a step towards a better world nonetheless. It’s a step towards balance, sustainability and reconnection. Towards societies that thrive within planetary boundaries.
We believe in this change. And we’re here to help make it delicious, joyful, and lasting.
Let’s eat mindful. 🌻
