Our Projects
Products direct from the farm
We’re excited to partner with regenerative, organic farmers.
Food – it’s what connects us to the earth, and to each other. It is the most powerful force for change we have. Through our daily food choices, we can make a positive impact on the planet that grows our food, and the people who produce it.
We’re partnering with two innovative Montana farmers to create two of our top mac and cheese items. These products include identity-preserved, organic pasta ingredients grown with regenerative practices like cover cropping, diverse crop rotations, and integrated livestock management.
In 2019, Annie’s partnered with Charter NEX and Envision Plastics to debut a new cereal liner that uses at least 35% postconsumer recycled HDPE plastic. The package was the winner of this year’s sustainable packaging coalition innovator award for the innovative materials and creative educational graphics on the back of the packaging that help children learn how to recycle.
The recycled plastic in the liner comes from milk jugs and similar containers recycled through curbside recycling programs. By including recycled content, we increase demand for recycled plastics, driving municipalities to collect the materials. In addition, the liner is recyclable through the store drop-off program.
The Annie’s Friends cereal box also includes special consumer-facing messaging around the use of recycled content and a game that can teach children how to recycle.
