“Harvest Market’s focus on environmental stewardship, support of small and local farms, and dedication to the community are worthy of high commendation,” Huffman said. “By investing in solar panels, offering fair trade and eco-friendly products as well as high quality organic and local foods, Harvest Market has instituted important business practices to minimize impacts on the environment.”

SUSTAINABLE NORTH COAST

 

Presented to Harvest Market in recognition of the company’s dedication to environmental stewardship and its commitment to the community.  By investing in solar panels, offering fair trade and eco-friendly products as well as high quality organic and local foods, Harvest Market has instituted important business practices to minimize impacts on the environment. The donation of surplus food to the Food Bank not only reduces waste transported out of the county, but also provides nutritional support for many low income members of the community. The innovative use of the city mandated bag fee to help local non-profits is an example of forward-thinking community collaboration. Harvest Market’s focus on environmental stewardship, support of small and local farms, and dedication to the community are worthy of high commendation.
