Dried fruit in compostable bags
We are excited to try compostable bags from Elevate Packaging part of the growing effort to replace petro-plastic with materials of equal performance, but free of micro-plastics pollution. Sturdy & lightweight, these bags are a far better single-use option than plastic cartons – AND they’re home-compostable!
Reduce waste one cup at a time
When thirsty while visiting our stores, please choose a washable cup at our water stations.
Washable cups mean less waste in our community!
The cookies you love have a new bag!
Our 12-pk Chocolate Chunk, Double Chocolate, Oatmeal and Peanut Butter cookies are now in a compostable wood-cellulose bag!
Our previous packaging was a paper bag with a plastic lining – meaning it was not recyclable, nor compostable.
Enjoy your favorite cookie, with the bonus of less plastic waste!
Ready meals package upgrade!
Have you noticed our new Ready Meals tray? These fiberboard trays are commercially compostable, with only a thin plastic top sheet to trash! Replacing our old polypropylene trays will greatly reduce our plastic waste. Enjoy the same dinners you love, with less plastic!
