Emma's Produce is going Green!

Emma had her first harvest yesterday....Plums! Turns out plums aren't the biggest seller, but she is having fun and trying! Yesterday we started out with plums in plastic bags, well the box went empty (it only had a few left when we started) and I had decided that when they were gone, that was it, no more plastic baggies. So today as we prepared to put more plums out on the table, I realized I needed a better, greener option. So now Emma's Produce has unbleached food safe muslin bags! Right now I'm just writing on them with a fabric pen, but I would love for Emma to create a logo and we find a way to "print" on them. Years ago my older daughter made a "stamp" using a rubber block, so maybe that is an option. We will see! For now they are cute and Emma is enjoying the job!

  3. If I lived in your neighborhood I would buy 2 bags! What a wonderful, thoughtful business. Thanks for movin' away from plastic and into reusable fabric. Maybe Emma would like to decorate them so they become re-usable works of art. Keep up the great work!
