Now there are even more reasons to reduce and reuse bags: They can also help keep things fresh! According to Ali Cohane of Persephone Bakery, the new, all-natural cotton bread bags the company is selling at the Jackson Hole Farmer’s Market allow bread to breathe and stay super crusty for longer than a plastic bag. In addition to being stylish and pretty, they offer a longer life for the bread to stay fresh. Available in two sizes ($12 for the loaf and $10 for the baguette) they also come stuffed with a free loaf on the first purchase. Cohane encourages purchasers to bring them back and refill them each week!
