About Authentic Roots

Inspired by nature, the Authentic Roots journey started with designing and creating eco and animal-friendly products. Being passionate about education, growing food and well-being, led owner and author Tanya Van Rees, to create South Africa’s first educational and plantable children's storybook, design a food and education garden programme and qualify as a nutritionist advisor.
 

At the core of Authentic Roots lies a dedication to educational empowerment through their food garden and education programmes, as well as read and plant schools projects. Through these initiatives, the brand cultivates a deeper understanding of sustainable living by encouraging the growing of food gardens in a fun and sustainable way.

As a force for good, Authentic Roots collaborates with Non-Profit Organisations (NPO’s) organisations and corporates who prioritize education, nutrition, food security and sustainability.

Tanya is a passionate humanitarian who cares for the earth and all sentient beings. She believes that good business supports local communities, while also committing to sustainable solutions for the good of the environment. Authentic Roots takes inspiration from nature, and from a philosophy that we should live more consciously, together.
