Anchorage's "old-world grocer" with a minimal-waste model and a commitment to community.
We feature food and cooking items, fresh local produce, personal care products, household cleansers, gifts and more - all unpackaged, in bulk, or packaged in reusable or repurposed containers (no single-use plastics). Approx. 50% of our vendors are local Alaskans. All products and vendors are carefully vetted based on their impact to the planet, and to their community. Local makers may popup inside our store. 1% of all of our proceeds goes to a local organization focused on sustainability.

WHAT we do
why we do it
our little blue market cart had a sampling of the products we now carry in our store
HOW we do it
|
sustainableWe offer creative sustainable options for purchasing items with re-usable, repurposed, and recycled containers, new or from our "containers lending library." Do not take home one-time-use plastic packaging when you shop at Blue Market AK. |
transparent We are transparent about the plastics that we cannot avoid using, and we show how we refuse/reduce/ reuse/recycle them. We vet and label all of our products, and rate them based on their materials and their carbon footprint. |
ConNECTedOur store is more than just a shopping experience - it is inviting and creative, a conscious community of local vendors, shoppers and concerned citizens who want to change their habits to ensure a healthy planet. |
