National Bulk Foods Week October 16-22

SunRidge Farms is the established leader in bulk food sets at your favorite grocer.  Since 1982 we’ve been leading the way in providing the best nuts & seeds, dried fruits, trail mixes, granola, and confections.  Bulk foods provide many advantages and supports our mission of taking care of the planet while producing the best foods imaginable.  How does bulk food provide these advantages?  First and foremost, almost 40% of the food produced in the USA goes to waste.  When you buy packaged product, often times the fixed package size offers more food than needed and no easy way to reuse or store the excess.   That waste ends up in the landfill rather than our stomachs.  With bulk you only buy what you need.  Secondly, packaged product is simply that, packaged.  The cost of designing and producing the package creates additional costs and environmental impacts.  If new ingredients or formulations are needed, new packaging is then needed, potentially leading to the waste of previously produced packaging.  Lastly, offering foods in bulk provides the most variety of options to consider.  From staples to snacks, plenty of choices are available that will meet anyone’s discriminating palate.  To take advantage of the multitude of items available, visit your favorite grocer, natural food store, or coop and experience what SunRidge Farms has to offer.  If your local grocer doesn’t have any bulk sets, you can order our items on our website.  The week of 10/16-22 you can even get 20% off your purchase via the site.  Just visit www.sunridgefarms.com and enter promo code ‘bulk20’ at checkout.  We also offer limited selection of packaged products for your convenience as well.  Thank you for your support.
