Sustenance Groceries - Expert Impact

Katie Pitts,

Sustenance Groceries

Met with Anne MacCaig

Founded by environmentalist Katie Pitts Sustenance Groceries sells organic, plastic free groceries such as dry pantry food, cosmetics and household cleaning products.

Customers can come and fill (and refill) their own containers to buy zero waste products in small quantities or in bulk.

Anne listened to me and comprehended the questions I was asking in a professional but friendly way. The advice she gave me has given me confidence in my ideas and how far I have come along so far.
