Greyston Bakery is a Yonkers-based brownie and baked goods manufacturer known for its open hiring policy and social mission. They supply brownies and cakes to major brands while operating as a B-Corp and nonprofit, prioritizing hiring from underserved communities.
Greyston's sourcing story centers on social mission rather than ingredient traceability—we could not find evidence of named suppliers, origin disclosure, or ingredient-level certifications (USDA Organic, Fair Trade) on their brownie/cake range. Ingredient lists appear standard for commercial baked goods (likely containing emulsifiers, preservatives, refined sugars) with no third-party verification of sourcing ethics. Processing is contract manufacturing scale with no named master baker or roast/bake-date stamping. Packaging uses standard commercial boxes; we found no evidence of recyclable/refillable primary packaging or PCR content claims. Their B-Corp certification and nonprofit structure are genuine and admirable, but supply-chain transparency (cocoa origin, flour sourcing, labor practices upstream) lags sector leaders. Opportunity: publish a transparent supplier map, pursue Fair Trade or Direct Trade cocoa certification, stamp bake dates, and upgrade primary packaging to compostable or refillable formats to align ingredient/craft rigor with their ethical brand promise.
