TRASH-FREE TAKEOUT?! 😎🌻😊

Hey Island friends! 💜

Do you know about yet❓Last year was the pilot year to test it out, and now Jessica and the 12+ restaurants involved are gearing up for another year.

In my experience as one of the pilot testers, it was FANTASTIC. 💯

So it works like this — want trash-free takeout from your favorite island eats? Let them know you’re a member of Island Eats, and they’ll have a beautiful reusable bowl for your meal, rather than single-use trash. After you use it, you return it to ANY of the participating restaurants. And then it gets 100% washed and sterilized for you or another Island Eats member to do it all over again.

It’s pretty rad, especially for favorite restaurants like Juice by the Sea MV MV Salads Waterside Market and Bobby B's Restaurant & Bakery where takeout is automatic simply due to size constraints, town restrictions, or whatever the reasons are!!

I just reloaded for TWO again this year, and I saw a note about early bird pricing now.

Check it out! It’s a really cool program and helps us to get closer and closer to

Love,
Éva

If I had to guess the top sellers this week, it would NOT be greeting cards!! The elephant ones are made from elephant dung (yes, really!), the Matzah Love ones from 100% post-consumer recycled card stock, the Mother's Day from recycled paper with FLOWER SEEDS built in. So you can plant your Mother's Day card and turn it into flowers! How cool is that?!
ALSO... did you know that you can know come by to shop our shelves on pickup days?! This week, it's on Friday 6-7pm and Saturday 2-3pm. 😍🌳💚😘

TRULY BACKYARD COMPOSTABLE BAGS! I've tested these babies out in our home compost, and within weeks, it's almost completely broken down. Even the stickers on the bags are compostable. Cool, right?! Imagine if ALL companies did this or if we found ways to massively reduce the use of single-use plastic.

It really DOES make a difference. It really DOES add up. We really CAN be the change!

Island friends, we appreciate all you do to create less trash and make a difference in your own way!

KITCHEN GARDEN + GOOD MATH!

Growing a kitchen garden is one of the absolute best ways to enjoy fresh food year-round, including in the colder months when the trees are oh-so-bare and the chill's in the air (and really, everywhere).

But in your kitchen? It can be like a little garden paradise with potted herbs and sprout jars. Happy little sprouts that multiply and make for some very good math! A pound of sprouting seeds = MANY pounds of nutrient-dense sprouts.

We've just reloaded sprouting seeds at the co-op with a bean salad mix, a 5-seed salad mix, and alfalfa (which is like the multiplier of all multipliers!). And what do you need to enjoy it? A lid and a mason jar + some water and a bit of easy nurturing. It's easier than pie, and...

We have a FREE easy-to-follow sprouting 101 class for our members. Yeah!

(This, by the way, is one of two personal favorite ways to enjoy fresh veggies in the winter, the other being from the MV Community Greenhouse. Check our post from yesterday for more on that goodness!)
