We are proud and excited to welcome Alison Mountford, Founder and CEO of Ends+Stems into the Conscious Choice Living family!

Ends+Stems is a meal planning service designed to reduce household food waste and stop the effects of climate change. Alison turned 15 years of professional chef and entrepreneurial experience into a solution to help eliminate both weeknight dinner stress and food waste in one clever step.

Alison is a passionate problem solver and approachable leader with a dual vision; to get households cooking again and to save the planet. Before building Ends+Stems, Alison founded Square Meals in 2005, one of San Francisco’s first prepared meal delivery companies. Square Meals was first to market and helped define the trend of chef-prepared meals delivered to your door.

Alison has been named a Rubicon Waste Fit Champion, Nasdaq Milestone Maker, Finalist for the Spoon Tech Startup Showcase, and has appeared in Wired, Forbes, Rachael Ray Magazine, Conscious Company, and on many podcasts.

Alison has provided our listeners with 3 tips to help reduce your food waste:
1. Conduct a food waste audit. There are instructions right on her website!
2. Create a meal plan with family input.
3. Give yourself grace with food waste. Learn and understand where and when you do waste food, and apply that knowledge to the future.
