These bags are not local, they come from Oregon, but they are made of vegetable cellulose and breathe very well. Our customers say they keep our salad mix in them for up to 2 weeks. We wash and spin the mix and then put it in  the bags and then put in cooler until market (next day). They are also very nice looking, clear and easy to see through. Pak-Sel is the company. 1-800-635-2247 or marc.andersen AT pak-sel.com. They are not cheap, but we advertise that they are biodegradable bags at farmer's market and people really like that idea, so perhaps it encourages sales.

HI all,
Does anyone know where I can get plastic or cellophane bags for salad mix? Preferably on the east coast, Canada or the U.S. Thanks for your help with this.

Two suggestions:

1) Check your area yellow pages for local restaurant supply stores. You may be able to get your bags locally. (The one nearest me delivers for free, even small orders.)

2) Before I found sources for boxes locally, I used to get these from Sofco; they would deliver small orders, and I think they probably also carry bags. I just found them online:
