SUSTAINABILITY
Carrubba’s Sustainability Pledge
How We’re Reducing Our Footprint
Carrubba currently owns multiple farms to mitigate and control how we as a company affect the environment.
We employ a robust recycling program to reduce our waste output.
We compost all bio-mass waste on our farms and repurpose excess fragrance for us in waste treatment facilities.
Carrubba vets its suppliers to the best of our ability to mitigate the use of unethical practices.
We strive to do business with companies that are in alignment with our core values.
Carrubba’s Commitment to Sustainability Rests Upon Three Pillars
Our People
Carrubba is dedicated to ensuring our company consistently and unequivocally treats all individuals with the utmost dignity and respect they inherently deserve.
Our Products
Carrubba is actively driven to craft a comprehensive range of products that align with our commitment to cause minimal to no harm to the well-being of people and the planet.
Our Processes
Carrubba strives to seek innovative and conscientious ways to ensure our direct activities result in minimal to no harm to the well-being of people and the planet.
Carrubba Farms & Partners
We currently source botanicals and microgreens from our farms and partners ensuring the traceability of our ingredients.
All bio-mass from our manufacturing processes are up-cycled and posted within our farms operations.
Newtown, CT
Our 27-acre farm is constantly evolving to meet the increasing demand for responsibly sourced botanicals. We maintain our philosophy of “giving back to nature so it keeps going” by collectively harnessing our decades of farming experience with an intense focus on conservation and protecting our ecosystem.
Gilbertie’s Organics
Our partner, Gilbertie’s Organics in Easton, CT, is the largest USDA Certified Organic greenhouse grower in the Northeast USA. Gilbertie’s Organics operates over 34 acres of farmland, offering over 4 acres of greenhouse production that grows and harvests year-round. Owner, Sal Gilbertie and Duane Carrubba have had a working relationship since 1984.
Sustainability Cycle with Maybrook Farms
At Carrubba, sustainability doesn't end after extraction. Whenever possible, the remaining plant biomass from our manufacturing processes is upcycled into compost and returned to our farming operations, enriching the soil that helps grow future botanicals. By closing the loop, we reduce waste and help support a more circular approach to ingredient production.
