We are connected to our natural landscape in Maine and want to minimize our impact on our home. These initiatives help us ensure the sustainability of our communities, company, and planet.
- Maine Environmental Leader. Our Flagship Store in Brunswick has been rated a Maine Environmental Leader by the Maine Department of Environmental Protection.
- Composting in our stores. We compost all dishes, red spoons, napkins, and coffee cups at our Brunswick and Old Port stores. Both stores have converted from disposable tasting spoons to reusable metal tasting spoons for sampling.
- Recyclable pint containers. Our pints can be recycled in communities that offer the appropriate recycling technology.
- No styrofoam cups. We do not use styrofoam cups or dishes in our stores. From day 1, we’ve used recyclable (or now compostable) paper cups for hot drinks, and ask guests who are dining in our stores if they’d like drinks served in ceramic mugs.
- Careful milk sourcing. All of our milk is sourced from farmers who pledge not to use artificial growth hormones (HGH). More about our milk.
