CBD-BATH TIME!

New to The Green Cart Pantry: Fine Healing Goods bath bombs 💭📢💭

Thrilled to announce the addition of - ta-da!- full-spectrum CBD bath bombs from to the Sundry collection on The Pantry:

🗯 ELEVATE (lemongrass) - Energizing, restorative & uplifting
🗯 ALLEVIATE (lavender vanilla) - Soothing, calming & nourishing

https://thegreencartpantry.com/collections/sundry/products/cbd-bath-bombs

Take your time, luxuriate in these gentle, uplifting baths. With 50 mg full spectrum CBD in the center of each bomb, you get to nourish your body (skin is our largest organ- amiright?) with a full dose of HAPPY- guilt-free.

New to CBD wellness? This might be your perfect intro. The CBD space is built on many half-truths and outdated assumptions. 🤷🏻‍♀️Our friend Rachel Daughtery, Fine Healing Goods founder & wonder-mama, is doing a FINE job (no pun) destigmatizing CBD wellness and we're here for it! 🤸🏿🧚🏻🧘🏻

LAUNCH SPECIAL: All orders placed by Monday for Wednesday 10/21 delivery will come complete with one 50 mg full-spectrum CBD bath bomb. Cheers to making it through another week (and Thank you, Rachel!)

We took a digital sabbatical in October but we’re back with a nicely timed PSA:

▫The Green Cart turns 15 this Fall.

Fifteen
YEARS.
Making
sandwiches.
In Austin.

FUN FACTS:

🟩 The Green Cart has started as a food cart near UT campus, on the Drag. In 2005. An early, early bird in the food cart extravaganza!

🟩 There's only 12 sku's in our grab & go collection. That's right: 15 years, 12 items. We swear by "less is more".

🟩 With pre-pandemic 1K+ sammies a day, roughly, we must've hand-made over 5.5 million perfectly portable, clean & green, delicious lunch and adventure staples.

🟩 We made it through 2005-2020 sans instagram, tiktok, external funding, or facebook ads. 👻 Just our small local team, good food and good service. Some good LUCK too 🤩

Family-owned and operated, we’re grateful for your love, AUSTIN. 🔴 And to all of our former, current & future food service & wholesale friends- we cherish you every day. ♥️

2020 is probably is not exactly the year to celebrate but hey, here we are. 🔹 Stay tuned for anniversary SPECIALS. Now that we finally have an instagram, a newsletter and 🔷 a digital deli (the silver lining of covid :) there are plenty of ways to stay in touch.

PS On Kelly:

🟧 Ellsworth Kelly is our lifetime favorite.
🟦 His minimalist bursts of color inspired the design of our labels.
🟨 We love his limited edition postage stamps so much we used one of them as a backdrop (above) to the logos for some of the brands we’ve served.
🟩 We love that KELLY rhymes with DELI (does it make him our spirit-er.. artist?)
⬛️ He dedicated over 30 years to building his labor of love, Austin chapel, that now sits near the Blanton on UT campus.
🟥 And that, dear Austin, is

THE GREEN CART

Just to introduce ourselves to all our new friends 💃🏼🤸🏻🧘🏻 out there.

THE GREEN CART PANTRY, started in March 2020 bundles up hyper-local makers in a single contactless delivery. Long time deli converts in the urban and European tradition, we wanted to re-write the deli menu in tune with locally grown foods & new realities. Hence the bundles, hence 100% ONLINE.

THE GREEN CART, in turn, The Pantry’s parent company, started in Fall 2005 as a modular organic food cart on UT campus with a mission to improve’s world’s diet, became a full stack commercial kitchen shortly after and has served Austin coffee shops and grocers ever since.

If you're in Austin, you may know The Green Cart's GRAB & GO from local favorites & more. It is also available ONLINE on The Pantry! BOOM!

Lastly (sorry, long read!).. We fancy the sound of TREE in The Pantry, The Green Cart’s baby sprout 🌱- pan-TREE! There is an early beginning for everything and while The Pantry gets to enjoy The Green Cart’s parent roots, we’d like to think that one day it'll become a TREE 🌳 of it’s own:)

GRAB & GO

Or rather grab & !

Made locally, in the heart of Montopolis, these are some of the gourmet deli sandwiches & wraps we've perfected over the past 15 years (TIME FLIES!). The shelf life is under 3 days, meaning The Green Cart grab & go you find on the shelves of your BEST local grocers and c-stores is as GREEN as it gets!
