Used Grocery Bags Needed in Pick Up Room
by Farmer Dana

We've miraculously made our way through the mountain of donated grocery bags that we started the season with. If you have extra used grocery bags you plan to recycle back at the grocery store, consider bringing them to the farm instead!

This is also a good time to remind members to BYOB (bring your own bags/baskets) if you don't already. I've finally developed a good habit of bringing my collection of canvas bags when out shopping - super satisfying. There are many reasons to engage in this habit, one of which is reducing plastic waste. Over the weekend one of our new member families pointed out that their household plastic waste has decreased by HALF since they started getting veggies from Anchor Run Farm instead of the grocery store. This is amazing! Our food community is awesome!
