Sustainability
For us, sustainability is more than a trendy catch phrase; it's been the foundation of our Willamette Valley family business for four generations. Since 1941, when Grandpa Howard and Grandma Gladys Gibson started farming near Junction City, Oregon, we've been passionately dedicated to our land and animals. We are committed to a sustainable system that keeps the entire product lifecycle close to home, ensuring quality and freshness.
At Dari Mart:
- We recently began offering "grab•n go green" reusable bags at all of our stores to decrease the number of plastic bags in the world. We are the first convenience store in Oregon to do so. By switching to re-usable and paper bags, we'll eliminate the circulation of 1.4 million plastic bags annually.
- We plan to replace the lights in our coolers with more energy efficient LED bulbs. We will also be replacing the door seals on our coolers to keep the cold air in and the warm air out.
- We're bringing back our "comeback cups" to encourage you to reduce, reuse and refill.

At Lochmead Farms Dairy:
- We purchase all natural ingredients locally for our delicious, premium ice cream whenever possible.
- We use hazelnuts and peppermint from our farm in our ice cream, and are working on using our blueberries as well.
