Today we decided that being a sustainable organic farm is simply not enough. Kaleo and I decided to raise the bar and go with environmentally earth friendly packaging for the farm products. We are currently using quick biodegradable bags for customers who don't have canvas bags. The packaging for the fresh pack will now be in Solo Bare 20% Post Consumer 1 PETE plastic containers. Theses food containers can be easily recycled much like water bottles and contain a high percentage of reusable materials. After much research the next step will be to use compostable cornstarch based containers from Styrophobia on O'ahu. While the cost is about 10% more than conventional plastics how can you not go for that option when you live on an island in the middle of the Pacific ocean. By going this route we feel we can truly evolve a business that is based on sensible morals with a reverence for the earth.
