Look for the EcoBonus stamp on eco-conscious, natural, and socially responsible products.

EcoBonus® today announced that The Wedge Natural Foods Co-op has joined its eco-conscious customer rewards program as a retail partner. The Wedge is one of the oldest and most successful natural foods co-ops in the United States, founded in 1974. As a consumer-owned cooperative, The Wedge is committed to providing the highest quality organic food and to deepening bonds between sustainable  producers and the co-op community.

“We’re proud to introduce this true pioneer in the natural foods movement as our first retail partner,” said Tiger Beaudoin, founder of EcoBonus. “We’re planning some exciting events that will benefit both The Wedge’s customers as well as EcoBonus reward partners, such as Organic Valley, Annie’s, Sambazon, and MyChelle Dermaceuticals. Partnering with a well-respected retailer like The Wedge is a great opportunity for us to reach and reward eco-conscious consumers in the Minneapolis market.”

“EcoBonus is a logical extension of The Wedge’s mission to educate our members and community about healthful eco-friendly products. We love the depth of information that EcoBonus provides. EcoBonus serves both the newcomer to the world of organics and eco-concerns and the experienced consumer who wants detailed information,” said Elizabeth Archerd, membership and marketing manager of the Wedge.
