Green Duck

Customer Stories

 

SECCO

Anchored by a menu where fresh seasonal ingredients, farmstead cheeses and house made pasta and charcuterie are incorporated into an array of excellent antipasti, sandwiches, soups, salads and small plates. As with the beverage menu, proteins and produce are sourced almost exclusively from family-owned farms, favoring local producers whenever possible and avoiding factory farms like the plague. Floor-to-ceiling windows, a custom built cork-top bar, a seasonally evolving mural by artist Chris Milk and loads of creatively re-purposed wood define an environment that is simultaneously rustic and refined, chic yet casual.

savor company

Savor uses the entire line of green duck compostable products!

center for rural culture

The Center for Rural Culture was very excited to learn about green duck and that our compostable packaging was affordable! They used green duck compostable packaging like hot cups, soup cups and more for the Autumn Harvest Tasting & Seed Swap in Goochland, VA and other events.

"We used Green Duck for our Autumn Harvest.  Their prices are really low and I picked up the product at their warehouse, so didn’t pay any shipping.  Good stuff!"
