Nutritious Grains for All
Colorado bakery Moxie Bread Co. has committed to donating 1% of all retail flour bag sales to Zero Foodprint! Born from a desire to nourish neighbors and foster community, Moxie supplies fresh bread and heirloom grain flours across three locations in Colorado: Louisville, Boulder, and Lyons.
“As a business that sources heirloom grains from local and regional farms, it feels important to us to support these farmers in transitioning to regenerative practices. We are so grateful for what stewards of the land can provide us and our community, it feels good to give back to them and complete the circle.” - Moxie Bread Co.

About Moxie Bread Co.
Moxie Bread Co is a small town bakery with old world ambitions. Their locally and regionally sourced grains are milled fresh on site to craft rustic breads, pastries and other baked goods for our friends and neighbors. In 2020 they opened a mill site. Inspired by their work with The Colorado Grain Chain, which their founder Andy Clark co-founded, the mill is dedicated to providing high quality flour to chefs, bakers, and other artisans across the Front Range.
As a Zero Foodprint Business Member, Moxie’s contributions will be pooled with other member contributions to fund ZFP’s Restore Grants for farmers implementing climate-smart practices. Every bag of flour sold directly contributes to creating healthier soil, better food, and a restored climate.
About Zero Foodprint Membership
Zero Foodprint began as an effort for restaurants to reduce and eventually zero out their climate impacts. After crunching all the numbers, one thing was clear: the vast majority of the emissions inherent in a meal happen before the ingredients ever make it to the restaurant or processing facility. Food and beverage production accounts for more than 1/3 of global emissions - but it doesn’t have to be that way.
We can change the way that food is grown. By directly funding practices like compost application, managed grazing, and cover-cropping, Zero Foodprint members team up with farmers to create healthier soil, which makes more delicious, nutritious, and resilient crops while also conserving water and drawing down carbon.
Zero Foodprint (ZFP) is a nonprofit organization restoring the climate, one acre at a time. We believe that by regenerating soil, local food economies can play a critical role in reversing the global climate crisis. We work with food and beverage businesses, philanthropy and government to bring the next dollar to implement the next regenerative practice on the next acre. This regenerative economy benefits every person who grows food, every person who sells food, and every person on this planet who eats food.
