Jars of Delight: The Mission
Jars of delight is committed to taking the sustainable path in a largely environmentally-unfriendly industry. We consistently implement new methods of reducing waste, attend workshops highlighting eco-friendly practices, and form partnerships with like-minded businesses to decrease our carbon footprint.
Our Three Focus Areas
Sourcing Local Produce
In our recipes, we use sustainable, organic, pesticide-free and antibiotic-free ingredients and products from local farms in newighboring areas such as Upstate New York, Long Island, New Jersey, and urban farms right here in New York City.
Recycling Our Jars
Glass mason jars are used on all catering orders and are reusable, recyclable and up-cyclable. Our customers love the innovative eating style and functionality of our jars. And we love making our customers and mother nature happy!
Composting Food Waste
Although we use strict food measuring, inventorying, and storing techniques to avoid food waste, it still happens. As a solution, we donate all food scraps to surrounding community gardens which is turned into compost.
As a community health graduate, creating a product that had a positive impact on our customer’s health as well as the health of our community/environment was the only option
