Compostable Foodware

 In order to reduce our plastic waste, we package and use as many compostable and/or biodegradable items whenever possible. We encourage our customers to bring their own reusable travel cups and coffee/tea cans as we can refill these from our bulk stock.

List of Compostable Products we use:
Compostable Coffee Bags
Greenware Cold Cups & Lids
Compostable Paper Hot Cups
Compostable Hot Cup Lids
Aardvark Sustainable Paper Straws
Biodegradable Plastic Bags (will degrade in landfill conditions)
Wooden Coffee Stirrers
Sugarcane Fiber Hinged Containers
Recycled Compostable Tea Bags


We also separate our used coffee grinds from the trash, making it available for home gardeners & compost enthusiasts upon request.

We are currently trying to convince our town to begin a local composting program for food waste and compostable products for businesses and residents.

Sustainably Grown Coffees

We take pride in the quality of coffees that we present to our customers. Because of that, we try our best to source Socially and Environmentally responsible green coffee beans. The majority of our coffees are Organically Grown to minimize negative impacts of widespread pesticide and herbicide use.

In addition, many of our coffees are either Fair Trade Certified, Shade Grown Certified, and/or Rainforest Alliance Certified. We try our best to actively support livable wages for farm workers, and environmentally responsible farming methods whenever we are able to. We can trace every single coffee bean back to the specific country and farm of origin.

Healthy Alternatives to Traditional Sources

 

Pasture-Raised & Humane

While traditional meats such as pork and beef have negative effects on both our bodies and on climate change, we source high-quality
animal alternatives such as:
Elk
Venison
Wild Boar
Bison
Pheasant
Duck

Unlike mainstream factory farms, these animals are never given growth stimulants, hormones, antibiotics, or steroids. The Elk, Bison, Venison, and Wild Boar are all pasture-raised in humane conditions.

You can find these amazing sources of meat in our homemade soups and stews which we offer daily.

 

All wild game proteins that we source are sustainably
pasture raised in a humane environment, allowing the animals to have access to clean water, fresh wild grasses, open space, and vegetarian grains. This process of raising animals with respect, care, and proper nutrition provides us with wholesome foods that pack incredible health benefits.

These animals have a positive effect on their surrounding environment as they are native to where they are raised and as a result, are able to fulfill their role as natural and beneficial foragers who replenish the land they graze upon.
