Food Insecurity is the measure of the availability of food or the ability to access it. In 2018 it was estimated that 1 in 9 Americans suffered from food insecurity. This number has grown significantly.

Because the cost of living and rent is so high, and the margins for a grocery store are low, Massachusetts is especially vulnerable to food insecurity. 

Massachusetts ranks third in the nation for food scarcity. 

Why Dry Bulk Foods?

Buying in bulk is good for the planet and your wallet.

It requires less packaging than a regular grocery store, while providing a greater selection of healthy foods.

 Larger quantities means you can save with lower unit costs and concentrate on higher quality. 

Local First

Local food travels shorter distances, which requires less fossil fuel, carbon emissions, and has less environmental impact.

Packaging

All orders are individually packaged in tin tie paper bags with a biodegradable liner.

Our Story

Founder Alys Myers was a longtime employee of Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Chaired the Recycling Committee where she managed environmental & sustainability projects. As a lifetime artist she is also a lifelong entrepreneur and uses this skill to problem solve with a keen eye for society and culture.

During a period of reflection after leaving MGH, Alys was driven to create a sustainable grocery model based on her experiences with the projects at MGH. After learning that Massachusetts ranks third in the nation for food insecurity, Alys was inspired to focus on a company that served communities in Boston who do not have easy access to a grocery store by delivering dry bulk foods to them. Selling food in bulk is a great way to reduce the need for food packaging and plastic, and she wanted to sell it in the quantities that were needed, rather than the quantities that suit the manufacturers of packaged foods.
