From the sustainable packaging to the local organic ingredients, the Flying Apron Bakery deserves your hard-earned dollars more than any bakery in Seattle. Even though I am not a vegan, I absolutely love the taste of their muffins and cookies. Plus, it leaves me feeling good that I've supported an alternative to the animal-dependent food industry. Instead of saying "wouldn't it be nice if the food industry was more transparent with their practives, ingredients, etc." you can force the industry in that direction by buying your food from companies that are open and transparent. The Flying Apron donates1% of proceeds to Physicans for Social Responsibility, but they are one step ahead of the millions of other companies that give to charity. By incorporating social responsibility and environmental ethics in every aspect of their business they are helping prevent the harsh environmental and economic problems that drive local farmers and third world laborers into poverty. Stop by their little window on the corner of 50th and Brooklyn in the University District or pick up some of their maple spice loaf and sweet bread at PCC. Your purchase will make a difference.
