New Hampshire’s First Zero-Waste Grocery Store Is In Bedford

There's no doubt that evidence is increasing of the planet's change in climate and environment. Part of this is the natural evolution of Earth but part is also the human impact. For those of us here now, we can make small changes in our own habits to ensure that the effects of climate change are minimized for the generations of tomorrow. One step we can all take is in regards to reusable packaging and New Hampshire's Most Unique Grocery Store, Live Free Refillery in Bedford, is a great place to get started with the practice.

Live Free Refillery in Bedford is the state's first zero-waste grocery store, offering items in reuseable, recyclable or biodegradable packaging.

Owner Juliette Buell created Live Free Refillery after a career in agriculture, with a passion for the environment and how we can exist in it with less waste.

How it works is that you bring in your own clean, sanitized containers and fill up with just the amount you need from the store's bulk items.

The store offers products and foods that provide less impact on the planet through better packaging, more humane animal treatment, increased economic impact, and better conditions for workers.

At Live Free Refillery you can find a wide selection of dry good like pasta and rice, locally-sourced produce, body care products, and dairy products from area farms.

Live Free Refillery only does business with companies and vendors that share the same values and beliefs to ensure sustainability.

Some products provide the opportunity to extend a more sustainable lifestyle beyond the store, all of which help to reduce single-use plastic.

If you strive to be mindful of the environment and the planet, this unique grocery store may be the place where you can make a small difference. For more information, visit the Live Free Refillery website and keep up with the latest updates by following Live Free Refillery on Facebook.
