Our Standards
What We Value and Work Towards
Social Responsibility
Supporting our community is very important to us. We give back in many ways; through donation to community events and projects like our Tokens for Charity Program, and our partnership with Haven's Harvest food recovery organization. We choose to partner with women and BIPOC owned businesses as often as we can. We care about our community.
We're Committed to Local
We’re proud to support local farmers and makers from all over Connecticut and New England. We love local made! We’re committed to supporting the local grown food system by partnering with small businesses that meet our standards of high-quality, clean label ingredients. You will find local made products in every department of the store including our Local Made section featuring the newest additions to our collection of local brands. Look for ‘Made in Connecticut’ and “Made in New England’ signs on the shelf under each of these items.
Sustainable Practices
Here at Thyme & Season sustainability matters to us!
We're committed to using more sustainable packaging and supporting our vendors who are going the extra mile to do the same!
Here are the measures we've put in place to reduce our footprint:
- Stopping in for breakfast, lunch, or dinner from the kitchen? Use paper straws, paper containers at the hot bar & compostable utensils!
- Purchasing fresh produce or bulk goods? Grab a compostable Bio Bag from the roll and fill it to your heart's content!
- At the register we have paper bags for your purchases (no plastic bags here). Buy a reusable cloth grocery bag, or bring your own!
-Food waste: less than desirable produce from our produce section get's repurposed in our kitchen. We partnered with Haven's Harvest food recovery organization. They pick up out of date products and left over hot bar food from us weekly. This food is distributed to folks in need in the surrounding community.
We acknowledge that there is always more to improve upon when it comes to sustainability, but we want you to know that when you shop with us you’re supporting sustainable practices.
