Spotlight: Thistle
Meet Thistle… plant-forward prepared meal delivery service, and the “#SeeingGreen Solutionist of the Day” for April 8.
Thistle is a plant-forward meal delivery service on a mission to make it easy for everyone to get and stay healthy while improving the sustainability of our food system. With a focus on providing fresh, chef-crafted meals made from organic, seasonal ingredients, Thistle’s offerings range from breakfast and lunch to dinner and snacks, all designed to nourish the body and promote overall well-being. The company delivers its meals directly to customers, making it easy for those looking for convenient, nutritious food without sacrificing quality or taste. Thistle’s menu is rooted in plant-forward nutrition, offering a variety of options to meet diverse dietary preferences and needs.
Thistle’s sustainability initiatives are central to its mission of creating a healthier world. First, by enabling plant-forward eating, Thistle helps reduce the environmental impact of animal agriculture -- from greenhouse gas emissions to arable land and freshwater consumption to air and water pollution to deforestation and species extinction. The service also partners with local farmers, artisans and producers who are stewards of the land and employ sustainable, regenerative and transparent practices to help build a better food system. Thistle designs its menus to highlight produce at the peak of seasonality, uses facilities that run on carbon-free energy, offers 100% recyclable packaging (while working to remove single use plastic packaging), reduces food waste and donates hundreds of meals to local community organizations each week.
Through its innovative approach, Thistle is working toward both improving the health of its customers and fostering a more sustainable food system.
