 Hey everyone, Rob Greenfield here and I am extremely excited to welcome you all to Ter, which is Minnesota's first zero-waste shop, one of the first zero-waste shops in all of the United States. You can come here and you can get your groceries all without creating any garbage, as well as get all the items that you need to live a zero-waste life. So Amber and Kate are gonna give you a tour of the place and enjoy your home. So come on in. Hi, welcome to Ter Market, Minnesota's first zero-waste store. I'm Kate and I'm Amber. So at Ter Market, our mission is to fight climate change by providing people with access to package-free and plastic-free goods so customers can come into our store and shop totally package-free. They can bring all of their own containers here from home. They just have to weigh them first and then they can fill them up with whatever they would like or they can borrow some containers from either our community jar section that's been cleaned and sanitized by Ter Market or they can take a jar from our jar deposit area where jars are branded with our logo. People can borrow a jar, they fill it up, bring it home, use the item and then bring the jar back and get their deposit back. That way we're eliminating any waste from people doing their shopping. So the very first thing we have are two kinds of kombucha and one kind of cold brew. These are all made locally either in the suburbs of the Twin Cities or right here in the metro area. And then we have about a hundred shelf-stable bulk food items in this space. So everything from dried fruit, locally made granola, candy, etc. And we try to source as many of these things as locally as possible. So we work with a lot of small local vendors and local farmers trying to bring sustainable living to the Twin Cities community. Also have two nut grinders to bring nut butters to the community. So we have an almond butter and a peanut butter. These are refurbished second-hand nut grinders that we're really proud of. And then over here we have a lot of our flowers. So we have regular all-purpose flower as well as a lot of flower alternatives. So everything from coconut flower to almond flower. Also we carry pastry flower and a heritage grain flower as well. And then we have a bunch of different kinds of rice and then popcorn and oats. And we try to source as many foods local to the Twin Cities as possible. So some of these come from local farms that deliver every week. And some come from larger farms that we get a larger shipment in at a time kind of thing. So over here we have our vault coffee section. Both of our suppliers are local to the Twin Cities. We have SK Coffee and Tiny Footprint. And the cool thing about the way that we source these is there's zero packaging involved. We trade packages back and forth and they're delivered to us that way. We also have a large selection of teas from some really awesome companies organically grown locally. We have our selection of coffee socks which are reusable filters for brewing coffee and then some to-go containers. And then over here we have our bulk spice section. So you can come and just refill your spice jars or grab one of ours with this huge selection of spices. And additionally right here we've got our refrigerator with some condiments and salad dressings. It's very popular at Tehr Market. People love to just refill their bottles that they already have and avoid all of that plastic. We have a lot of DIY supplies here at Tehr Market. A lot of people really want to make their own sunscreen or lip balm or what have you. So we've really tried to source products that people can use to make a lot of those things themselves as well as some other health and beauty things like reusable face rounds, facial soap, lotion in a glass container and things like that. So what we have here are some of our low waste and zero waste makeup brands. Everything from a pressed powder foundation and a refillable compact to lip balms in a compostable tube and tinted lipsticks as well as bulk, eyeshadow and blush. So this section is one of my favorites. This is our shampoo conditioner hygiene and then also cleaning section. So we have shampoo bars and conditioner bars up on this shelf. Many of them are local to Minneapolis which is great to support a local business. And then we have, down here we have bulk laundry powders. So you bring in your own container and just buy your laundry powder and bulk. And then back here we have refillable hand soap, dish soap, castile soap, all purpose cleaners and sprays as well as dish powder, dishwashing powder and then a selection of refillable lotions and shampoos and conditioners. Junket is a local vintage store here in the Twin Cities that has all pre-loved and second hand items. We're working with Junket to develop a relationship where every month they have a table here at Tehr Market and that table is comprised of a themed item. So this month it's back to school. So every product on here is geared towards back to school supplies and every single product is pre-loved. And we're switching that out actually to be mending for the fall. So we're really trying to stay current with the times and bring second hand items to this community. Recently we're really excited to bring in an extra Zero Waste resource for the community and we brought in two TerraCycle boxes. We chose to have the snack and chip wrapper box. So you can drop off your used snack bags here and they get shipped off to TerraCycle where they get recycled. And then the second one we chose is the beauty product one. We felt like these were two areas where people really struggled to dispose of their plastic tubes and containers and wrappers associated with hygiene of beauty products and snacks.
