Welcome to The Business Growth Show with Jo from The Blonde Beet, Stamford’s first and only plant-based café, bistro, and community space.

Join Adam and Jon as they explore Jo’s fascinating pivot from sustainability work and student behaviour change to launching a thriving, welcoming café right in the heart of Rutland. Jo walks us through her journey, from cozy supper clubs and lockdown takeaways to acquiring a charming, slightly hidden premises and transforming it into a vibrant, inclusive space.

Discover how Jo built a café that caters to everyone:

• Thoughtful, seasonal, zero-waste menus that appeal beyond the vegan niche.
• The creative use of textural delights like toasted seeds and nuts to elevate dishes.
• Community-driven programming, from art displays and book clubs to workshops and supper clubs.
• The power of collaboration and intentional choices, including local refill partnerships and sustainable sourcing.
• The ongoing challenge and joy of staying true to mission while managing growth.

Whether you're into hospitality, community-building, or purposeful entrepreneurship, this episode is full of feel-good inspiration and practical insights.
