This is why I purchase nearly all my spices from Penzey's. Not only are their products higher quality than most spices I can buy in a local store, they are Good People. The owner's letter about using Native names and terms for team names is pretty amazing, too. I'm sure they're going to lose customers because of their stances on these issues. If you're not already a Penzey's customer, please consider starting now, to offset the revenue lost from closed-minded people.

Good people, indeed. What a lovely letter.

I bring every visitor and house guest who has time to Penzey's, and last year I purchased Penzey's gift boxes for everyone on my list (except the few who already use Penzey's; they received Penzey's gift cards). I'll continue to promote them, now with even more conviction that I'm sharing more than just good spices.

YAY! Oh, this makes me really happy. Thank you for spreading the good word about Penzey's!

I've been fence-sitting for quite some time, but that definitely gave me a reason to hop off of it!

ETA: To clarify, I mean ordering from Penzey's, not the issue at hand. I'm firmly on the side of kindness there.

LOVE Penzey's. We're a Penzey's house, as well as my brother and not-sister-in-law, and our parents. I recently got a lady at work hooked on them too. I too, will drag people to Penzey's if they've never experienced it before. So glad to hear about them being awesome in addition to selling fantastic products.

I can't think of a single thing I've purchased from Penzey's that I didn't like well enough to at least finish the bottle. Some of their spice blends I haven't bought twice, but I haven't yet found anything that was unusable. Hope you enjoy!

YAY for so many Penzey's lovers!

I didn't even know we had several locations in Portland until today!! I will totally get my spices there.

YAY! You'll be so impressed and pleased! They really are AMAZING.

I do love Penzey's spices, and have gradually been replacing all our spices with theirs as we run out. Just going into the store makes me happy -- very glad we have one nearby. But I can't really read their catalog. It never fails to make me feel inadequate, which surely isn't their point, but there you go. They've definitely got my support, though. :)

Awww. I'm sorry it makes you feel less than. I love their catalog! Did you the see the one issue where they highlighted the poly threesome? ADORBS.
