Sugar & Spice And Everything Nice was founded with the mission to celebrate the gastronomic diversity of Vermont in a manner which is consistent with nutritious, organic, fair-trade, and eco-friendly practices. We are committed to supporting Vermont's "Farm-to-Plate" initiative and as a result we utilize small, local, independently owned farms and businesses to source our products and ingredients. The menu is ever changing according to season, weather, availability of ingredients and our personal creativity.
~Eco-friendly~
Our commitment to a healthy lifestyle goes beyond the plate however as we are dedicated to being a 'green establishment' as well. We use recycled, compostable take-away containers, biodegradable cutlery and straws as well as eco-friendly detergents and cleaning solutions.
~Fair-Trade & Charity~
Sugar and Spice is proud to work with companies such as Jim's Organic Coffee Company (which empowers farmers with tools and techniques to grow quality shade-grown organic coffee. The company pays coffee growers in third world countries above fair-trade standards for their labor and as a result these farmers are able to have healthy, sustainable farms and communities. Jim's Organic also donates 10% of profits from certain coffee blends to the GSO Orphanage in Mbeya, Tanzania. A percentage of profits from last years sales was used to install a deep water pump that delivers fresh water right to the Good Samaritan Orphanage facility. Previously, fresh drinking water had to be transported from a mile away. In addition, Jim's Organic Coffee has been awarded the Stellar Organic Award for Best Coffee by the readers of Organic Products Retailer Magazine. The winners of the award will appear in the July/August issue of OPRMagazine.
We have also partnered with SerendipiTea to bring our customers organic, fair-trade teas. SerendipiTea supports various non-profit organizations and charities. The company is committed to using Earth-friendly packaging including post-consumer recycled and biodegradable materials and water-based inks.
