April has arrived and our Earth Month Business Guide is here to help you find local, sustainable products and services perfect for you, your loved ones, and anyone else looking to celebrate this Earth Month while supporting a greener future.
As we kick off Earth Month, SBN is celebrating by spotlighting some of our member’s sustainable products and services that have a positive impact on the environment. Although environmental stewardship should be recognized throughout the year, this month is a perfect reminder that we all play a role in preserving our environment. Whether you’re well-versed in sustainability or you’re looking for a new opportunity to make an impact, our Earth Day Business Guide is here to highlight the businesses in our area that can help you reach your environmental goals.
Bar Hygge
HYGGE (pronounced HOO-GAH) is a word that embodies a culture of Danish living that embraces warm atmosphere and cozy surroundings, where people can spend time surrounded by loved ones enjoying good food, drink and conversation. Bar Hygge was designed and built to offer a space where guests can experience hygge firsthand.
The restaurant and brewery located at 1720 Fairmount Ave., opened in 2016 was constructed using a sustainability model utilizing repurposed wood, barrel staves and pallets. The scratch kitchen presents a new/contemporary American menu with seasonal changes, local ingredients and a focus on neighborhood comfort food.
Brewery Techne is their in-house 10 barrel brewery. They exclusively use local barleys grown in Pennsylvania and malted in Philadelphia. Eight to ten seasonal and year-round beers can be found on draft and in cans.
Composting is an integral part of Bar Hygge’s daily routine and they are proud to use fellow SBN member, Bennett Compost.

Crust Vegan Bakery
Crust is a queer woman owned vegan bakery that values high quality ingredients and purchases local products when possible to support other like minded small businesses. Crust strives to find the balance between offering an affordable and quality product to customers while providing a living wage and supportive work environment to their staff. They ensure there is always room to give back to our community within their costing structure, and they embrace their politics in deciding who to donate to. Crust keeps it political because food is political.
Crust was also the winner of SBN’s Inaugural Food Saver Challenge last year! They were recognized for their unique repurposing solutions that helped prevent waste from entering landfills. Learn more about Crust’s win and other food waste reduction achievements in our Food Saver Challenge Report.
