Greetings,
Many customers in our market don't want new bags, but I have never had anyone bring me dirty bags. It is their food that goes into them, and my customers are picky. We are a sustainable farm, so reuse is a big part of what we are about. Cat piss and cockroaches could change my mind in a hurry though.
Bright Blessings,
Kim


I don't like those 5 a day bags they are so incredibly thin that even string beans will punch holes in the bags. Its embarrassing to see a customer walk to the car and the bags bust on the way. Many times customers do me a favor and bring giant bundles of used bags. I thank them, and later toss them in the trash. I don't approve of selling my produce in a used bag with some supermarket logo on it. I have gotten bags smelling from cat piss and found roaches in others... Bob.
