We gotta tell ya. Over here at Quinn, we know change doesn't happen overnight, it's progress over perfection.
We believe we can always BE BETTER and DO BETTER whether it's supporting our ag partners striving to improve their practices, sourcing better quality ingredients, pushing packaging towards being more sustainable, or by being better coworkers and members in our community.
Conventional sunflower oil is a major ingredient that currently makes up 7% of our annual volume. As part of our Be Better. Do Better. Agriculture Initiative we are working to pilot a regenerative transition program with a few growers.

Quinn was chosen to be part of the Boulder County Pollution Reduced Packaging Pilot sponsored by the EPA. Through the pilot we’re working to transition packaging in our microwave popcorn to recyclable or compostable options.
Our Be Better. Do Better.™ Mission is to advance 99% of agriculture by partnering with conventional growers who want to take the first steps in transitioning to more regenerative growing practices, that reduce or eliminate the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers.
Quinn was started with the vision of making the world better for farmers, communities, and families for generations to come. We believe the only way to achieve this vision is through regeneration. With the effects of climate change already being felt by many communities around the world, including in our own Boulder community where we’re still reeling from the most destructive wildfire in state history, we know we need more than simply sustainability. To make the world a better place for future generations we need regeneration, not only for our environment but also for our communities.
