Wunder Workshop creates products that support the healthy body and mind of people, in harmony with the planet. The focus is on Consumption with Meaning®, harnessing the power of regeneratively grown plants for the ultimate feel-good effect in one's own body. The word "Wunder" in the name says it all, as the products focus on plants that have a quality and effect that can be described as such.
Founded in 2014 by Tom and Zoe , Wunder Workshop is inspired by intuitive herbalism and Ayurveda —particularly in relation to the preventative and holistic approach this ancient medical system takes to maintaining optimal physical and mental health.
As conscious consumers of these wonderful products, all our choices for Wunder Workshop products support a set of ethical and sustainable values that promote a transparent relationship between producer and consumer.
In keeping with these values, Tom and Zoe source functional ingredients to craft products with integrity and purpose. Their holistic approach to their products ensures that farmers, the environment, soil health, and their customers are considered and valued at every stage—from cultivation to the final sip.
What sustainability means for Wunder Workshop
Everything we consume has a story: where it was grown, who farmed and processed it, and how it was packaged. We believe these stories are the most valuable part of the process and connect us to the source. We believe this should be transparent for everyone.
We ethically source our organic turmeric and most of our other ingredients directly from small community farms in Sri Lanka that practice a sustainable farming method called forest gardening, supporting Sri Lanka's natural biodiversity, soil health, farmers, and the local community. We also source ingredients that are wild-harvested (Fair Wild certified) and grown in their natural habitat. We avoid monoculture farms wherever possible.
The Mission of Wunder Workshop
- We want to share the highest quality, sustainably sourced herbs, spices, mushrooms, and medicinal plants with our global community.
- We want to raise awareness about where our food comes from and break the outdated spice trade system that ignores the health of the planet and the welfare of farmers.
- We only use sustainable and ethical farming methods that are good for the producer, the environment, and the consumer. We work with family-run, single-origin farms and small community cooperatives.
- We want to preserve the ancient and traditional knowledge of medicinal plants and connect people with this knowledge.
- We educate people about how food can enrich our bodies.
- To change the mindset from curing diseases to preventing diseases.
- Giving back to the community and the planet. We invest 1% of our annual revenue in environmental, social, and women's empowerment projects.
The founders of Wunder Workshop 
Zoë Lind van't Hof / FOUNDER Wunder Workshop
Zoe learned about health and nutrition from her late mother, who worked in health-related fields for over 40 years. This meant she grew up with plants and the knowledge they hold. Surrounded by plants, she was able to develop her own intuitive herbal knowledge and grow her own organic food. This knowledge and motivation led her to start her own business.
After traveling to Sri Lanka with her late mother to learn more about Ayurveda, Zoe discovered turmeric and its benefits. A few years after completing her Master's degree in International Relations with a thesis on climate change, she returned to Sri Lanka to establish a partnership with the suppliers of our key ingredient, turmeric, and begin her journey to founding Wunder Workshop.
Tom Smale / CO-FOUNDER Miracle Workshop
While studying pharmacology, Tom Smale came across numerous research results on turmeric and curcumin. When he saw the role plants play in medicine, he was eager to learn more. After working in the medical world for several years, Tom became convinced that there was a better way to improve our well-being.
Tom talks about the power of plants and how they interact with our bodies, and that's his focus. With his experience in the world of pharmacology and a deep understanding of traditional herbal remedies, he helps research functional and effective ingredients. Tom is also a passionate plant-based chef, sourdough baking enthusiast, and cyclist.
