Sustainability

Easton Public Market is always looking for ways to reduce its environmental impact. Solar panels have been added atop the building, and the market has added bottle refill stations, refillable soap containers, energy efficient lights, hand dryers, as well as occupancy sensors. The markets vendors also try to do their part…

Highmark Farmstand
The Highmark Farmstand eliminated plastic bags in 2018, and sources a majority of its products from local and regional producers. The Highmark Farmstand stocks a line of reusable shopping bags and eco-friendly home goods. In 2022, a misfits basket was introduced, offering slightly blemished produce at a reduced rate.

Green Vida
Green Vida offers a monetary incentive for customers who return their reusable glass bottles so they can be washed and reused (over 3,500 returned and reused to date!). Green Vida also sends leftover juice pulp to local chicken farmers and sources to-go packaging made from plants that is biodegradable and compostable.

Three Birds Nest
The drip coffee at Nest comes from the Daterra farm in Brazil, which is a large project dedicated to sustainability and has earned B-Corp certification. Coffee processing can be water-intensive, and because coffee is often grown in arid climates it is especially important to develop technologies and methods to mitigate its impact on the local region. Other initiatives to improve the environmental impact on coffee farming include growing native flora among the coffee plants in order to preserve a habitat for local wildlife.
