At Dawson’s Market we practice what we preach through our Environmental Pledge. From the containers we use to serve our locally sourced food to how our staff sips their coffee, our market operates with two things in mind: our community and the environment.
We not only owe this to you, our patrons, but owe the planet our pledge as well, as it continues to serve us through our daily operations here at Dawson's Market. Without our community and the environment serving as our foundation, we wouldn’t be who we are today.
Please join us in our commitment to positively impact our environment. Together we can truly make a difference.
We hereby pledge to create and maintain strict and sustainable environmental standards, personally and professionally.
We promise to serve as an example of how practicing healthy living positively impacts both the community and our planet.
We will reduce, reuse and recycle.
We will commit to and encourage the reduction of our community’s carbon footprint.
We will give back, in every way we can, to our people and to our planet.
Our business depends on our community to function. We purchase goods from local farmers and producers whenever possible, not only because it contributes to our overall health as humans, but also because it greatly reduces the mileage between our farms to your plate, saving money and the planet simultaneously.
Our strong relationships with local farmers contribute to Dawson's Market pledge in committing to organic growing practices, sustainable soil treatment, fair treatment of farm workers, and animal welfare.
As a company, we said "goodbye" to plastic bags long ago. They are very difficult to recycle, harm the environment and take money out of our pockets every time we use them. We use paper bags - which are much more likely to be used again as recycling the raw materials is far easier.
We love to recycle and it shows. It all starts with our mindful staff, who make recycling a part of their everyday routine by using our many recycling stations. We also have clearly-labeled recycling bins for everyone in our cafe to help us get this situation sorted out.
Cardboard boxes? Yep! We recycle those, too. We also make it convenient for you to pitch-in with recycling stations inside our cafe and dining area.
Our compostable to-go containers are great, but they are just the start of our composting program. Composting is a great habit we can all get in to help the environment.
Too good to go is a certified B Corp social impact company, on a mission to inspire and empower everyone to fight food waste together. You will frequently find our excess food available for purchase at a significantly reduced price on this app.
Our food donation program is in place for Rockville, Maryland nonprofits and organizations who are welcome to make regular pick-ups in order to feed the homeless and hungry or to help livestock on local farms. If you are part of an organization that can make use of our leftover food, we urge you to contact us. The less we produce waste, the better for our local community.
