In.gredients: Shop Differently

In.gredients is a neighborhood grocery store with a farmers' market feel. Just a five-minute trip from Elan East Apartments, In.gredients is trying to change the way people shop for their groceries. The store focuses on three core values: zero waste, local food, and community.

The shop sells everything a shopper would need, from high-quality meats to fresh produce, but only features products on their shelves from local vendors. Guests who bring their own containers to package foods bought in the store will have the ability to donate a portion of their purchase to a choice nonprofit or charity. Unlike your regular local grocery store, In.gredients regularly hosts community events like live musical performances on the store porch and community block parties. A full schedule of events can be found on their Facebook page. In.gredients is open Monday through Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. while opening at 10:00 a.m. on Sundays.

BYO Containers to Fill at Eco-Friendly Co-Op In.gredients

At In.gredients, grocery shopping is more of an event than an errand. This co-op near Elan East cares as much about Mother Nature as it does the Austin community. To that end, it sources all of its ingredients from local farmers who are practicing sustainable farming, and it operates using eco-friendly approaches.

Perhaps the most unique aspect of In.gredients is its "precycling" program. That starts with you; before you come in, find and wash a few clean plastic or glass containers. Then when you get to the store, weigh and label each container. This is to ensure that the cashier applies the right tare when he or she weighs your grub. Load up each container with whatever you need, from veggies to oatmeal, from eggs to flour. In.gredients has almost everything, but it's not packaged the way you're used to seeing it. This minimum-waste approach to grocery shopping leaves a small footprint on the earth, which is exactly the point.
