Organic and local foods are healthier, tastier and more sustainable. We support local organic growers and also produce as much as we can in our garden. Much of our vegetables as well as our flours, sugar, and coffees are all organic and as more organics become available in our area we will add them to our pantry.
We are committed to zero single-use plastics. We use paper take-out containers and compostable take-out cups, lids and straws. We are working with our suppliers to reduce the amount of packaging in the supply chain.
The Black Duck is working toward carbon neutrality. We are currently partnered with Community Forests International who plant trees and maintain forests in order to offset the CO2 produced by our propane use. The Café is also working with the Beauséjour Renewable Energy Co-op and Fundy Solar to add a solar array to the building with the goal of producing all of the Café's electricity.
