Over the last few weeks we have begun planting some of the trees from our Save the Earth campaign.
The Cobblestone Project Farm started planted 150 blueberries bushes that Project 7 donated as a part of our Earth Day Celebration. The blueberry bushes will benefit the Northwest Arkansas community and their Hunger Relief Efforts. We love the direct impact that The Cobblestone Project is making in Northwest Arkansas.
And a small crew from Project 7 recently went to Haiti to see the reforestation work our Save The Earth partner, Plant with Purpose is doing throughout the country. We had an incredible time learning more about Plant With Purpose's work, exploring Haiti and meeting new friends. Here are a handful of photos from that trip.
And stay tuned, we'll be sharing more stories from our trip and the culmination of our Save the Earth campaign over the next few weeks.
This week several of our team members are in The Windy City for The Ideation Conference and the National Confectioner's Association's Sweets & Snacks Expo.
The 2012 Ideation Conference will focus on creative social good in our world, especially as it relates to human care. They are gathering some of the most innovative thinkers in this area that are bringing tangible change for millions around the world. Designed as a conference to assist current professionals in businesses and organizations who work towards human good as well as those desiring to enter the field, this conference will allow for in-depth dialogue, access to thought-leaders, and opportunities for intentional networking.
The 2012 SWEETS & SNACKS EXPO® holds the honor of being the largest confectionery, cookie and snack show in the Americas featuring more than 540 companies showcasing three and a half acres of confectionery and snack products at one time, in one place. The EXPO serves as a one-stop-shop for retailers and wholesalers looking to discover new products and trends in the industry.
We thought you might enjoy these pictures from their travels. If you are at either event be sure to stop by and say 'hi'.
How many stores do you have and where are they located?

San Mateo
Sausalito
What sets Mollie Stone's apart?
Mollie Stone’s is 100% family owned and operated. Our number one goal is creating an exceptional shopping experience for our customers. We do this in a number of ways:
Outstanding customer service. Many of our regular customers are greeted by name when they shop at Mollie Stone’s. We also offer full service departments and listen closely to customer feedback.
Wide selection of high quality products. Whether you’re looking for locally produced artisan goods or national brands, Mollie Stone’s has it. We also regularly stock a variety of items that support special diets, such as gluten-free and Kosher.
Passionate and talented buyers. Our buyers are constantly reviewing new, interesting items for our shelves.
Experienced and dedicated store managers. Our 9 store managers collectively have 301 years of experience in the grocery industry.
Your tagline is 'the best of both worlds'? How does that drive what you do?
We recognize that customers have two distinct needs when they shop: Passion and Necessity. Many customers come to Mollie Stone’s to seek out specific, hard-to-find specialty items, organic produce, meat cut to order, or gourmet deli offerings. At the same time, they have a need for widely available national brands and household staples. By offering both types of goods at Mollie Stone’s, shoppers can conveniently pick up everything they need in one shopping trip.

Which one of Project 7's 7 causes are you most passionate about?
While each of Project 7’s causes is extremely worthwhile, Feeding the Hungry is particularly near to our hearts. In addition to bringing Project 7 into our stores, we’ve recently increased our involvement with local food banks to address this issue that is more prevalent in the Bay Area than many realize.
We want to thank all of our Facebook fans and Twitter followers who supported our SAVE the Earth Day campaign last week. Due to all the help and hype you provided, we are excited to announce that we will be planting an additional 13,916 trees into the earth.
How awesome is that?!? Nearly 14,000 more fruit trees being planted into the Earth to provide clean oxygen for all, and food for many. For every new “like” on Facebook and every new follower on Twitter that we received last week, an additional tree will be planted through the help of our SAVE the Earth partners (Plant with Purpose, Trees, Water, and People and Cobblestone Project: The Farm). This donation is in addition to our everyday giving that occurs whenever you purchase any of our SAVE the Earth products.
Thank you all for so much for your support and your help to spread the word. You can continue to support Project 7 and the Earth by purchasing our SAVE the Earth products at a store near you. Together we can make a difference and help change the score.
