Sustainability
Sustainability is rightly in our cross hairs as we struggle to take care of our only planet and climate change is taking its toll. Meet these producers that understand all too well the tenets of sustainability – economic, environment and social, or profits, planet and people. The UN has a 2030 agenda that layouts 17 Sustainable Development Goals that recognize that ending poverty goes hand in glove with initiatives to improve health, reduce inequality and spur growth without sacrificing oceans, forests and field. It is a global initiative that calls on us all to do better and do it together.
Meet the bakers behind Michigan’s only solar powered bakery, Laughing Tree. And Wise Family Farm goes beyond sustainable to be ethical animal farmers. Their commitment shows.

Beyond the producers, you will find posts on how we are addressing the climate crisis at hand and how you can help.
