| Introduction | Founder and President of Sustainable Sourcing, Melissa has devoted much of her life's work to sustainable foods, farming, alternative health, and ethical business.As a social entrepreneur she traveled some of the world's most remote and deeply cultured regions creating bamboo micro-industries in rural Africa, replacing coca crops with organic cotton in the jungles of Peru, and introduced heirloom soybean seed to organic farmers in the US. All packaging is either 100% recycled, recyclable, Her entire operation is offset with wind and solar certified by the Green-e. Going beyond the requirements for certification, which offsets electrical use only, Melissa, has offset every aspect of her company's fossil fuel consumption by calculating annual use for production, the creation of packaging, ocean freight, trucking, travel and shows, marketing, and what it takes to operate her new certified organic, kosher passover certified artisan production facility in the beautiful Berkshire Mountains of New England. |
