Sustainability
Packaging
We understand how frustrating it is to encounter unnecessary plastic packaging. Nature has equipped produce with its own protective layers — bananas come wrapped in their natural skins, and apples can thrive without plastic wraps. Our commitment is to use plastic only when absolutely necessary, guided by the needs of our growers, like with spinach and Little Gem lettuce.
When it comes to packaging your orders, we ensure that we use no extra plastic. All our materials are recyclable, crafted with a mindful approach to sustainability by prioritizing recycled content whenever possible. We believe that true care extends beyond just the fruit; it encompasses how we deliver it to you.
Waste
Our waste policies reflect our deep commitment to the community. We take pride in saying that none of our waste goes to landfill. All cardboard is processed for recycling at a local facility, and we generate minimal food waste through careful ordering practices. We only source what is necessary to fulfill your orders, and any surplus is joyfully donated to local food banks, ensuring that good food nourishes those who need it most.
Recycling
We are attentive to the volume of cardboard involved in distributing our fresh produce. Every box is bundled for recycling, and we return plastic and wooden crates to our suppliers for reuse, reinforcing our dedication to a circular economy. While our shipping boxes are designed for easy recycling, we are also exploring the potential for reusable containers in the future. We understand that this represents a significant investment, and we are proceeding thoughtfully, particularly regarding health and safety.
Looking Ahead: Our Commitment to Continuous Improvement
Sustainability is an ever-evolving journey, one we approach with passion and dedication. We are constantly seeking opportunities to enhance our practices, from sourcing to recycling and supporting our community.
While we take pride in the culture we’ve cultivated, we know there is always more to accomplish. With hearts open to the latest advancements in sustainability, we are committed to discovering innovative solutions that allow us to provide you with high-quality fruits while nurturing the Earth and giving back to communities around the globe. Together, we can create a brighter, healthier future for everyone.
