Our Values

Our focus on reuse is rooted in the belief that changing our everyday actions can change the world. Below are some of the core values that guide our work.

Curiosity

We value creativity to help us problem solve and keep this work interesting and fun. We’re obsessed with learning about the best cooking tools and techniques for making delicious food and sharing that knowledge with you. More broadly, our imagination drives us to envision a more just and sustainable food system and how we can help build it

Compassion

Everything we consume—and waste—affects the people and environment around us. We’re committed to creating an inclusive shop and workplace with the highest sustainability and labor standards.

Community

Our most cherished moments are often of a good meal shared with family and friends. We create memorable experiences that bring people together through growing, cooking, and eating food.

Community partnerships are an essential part of Spoons. We support food sovereignty and growing the circular economy through local partnerships, mutual aid and creative collaborations.
