Sustainability

The Accidental Baker is committed to building a better future for our community. We prioritize environmentally and socially conscious business practices that support growth while protecting our natural resources.

Quality Ingredients

Our crackers start with quality ingredients from vendors who value sustainable practices.

All of our flour is sourced from Lindley Mills, a local flour mill that has served the region since 1755. They are a 100% organic, non-GMO flour mill that serves home and retail bakers. By buying locally, we reduce the carbon emissions associated with transportation, and by buying from an organic mill, we are supporting sustainable business practices that will protect North Carolina’s farmland for generations to come.

Reducing Waste

We are committed to making sure every cracker we sell is one we’re proud of. That’s why we go through an extensive quality control process to make sure that your snacking is consistently delicious.

But what do we do with the crackers that don’t pass muster?

We partner with a local farm and donate any crackers that don’t meet our exacting standards. After grinding them up into smaller, more digestible pieces, they then feed the crackers to their goats and chickens, and the crackers supplement their diets.

Our boxes are also 100% recyclable, which keeps waste out of the landfill.

We believe that our impact is circular, and that our food systems should be as well in order to promote a more sustainable future.
