worker-owned community-supported kitchen

Three Stone Hearth

Industry Food

A Berkeley worker-owned community-supported kitchen selling nutrient-dense prepared foods for pickup and delivery. Three Stone Hearth scores very high because prepared food is tied to worker ownership, local kitchen accountability, ecological practice, and a community-supported model rather than a national subscription funnel.

Why this matters: Prepared-meal convenience can be structured around workers and local food systems instead of investor scale.

Small business context

This entry is classified as a small business using observable scale signals: independent control, local or limited operations, and no evidence of public-company or national-chain scale. The small-business calibration keeps the ordinary rubric but reads evidence at person scale: living-wage pricing is not extraction by itself, while worker and contractor treatment, owner surplus, transparency, advertising pressure, dissent tolerance, and recourse matter more. Harm, toxicity, surveillance, labor, coercion, opacity, and hidden-parent penalties are not relaxed.

Penalties

Penalty	Applied	Why this penalty
High-Carbon Products ? Core products, services, financing, or supply chains that materially depend on fossil-fuel combustion, high-emissions transport, industrial animal agriculture, meat, dairy, or other unusually carbon-intensive activity. This is scored separately from general ecological harm so ordinary consumers can see carbon-intensive product exposure directly. Range: -10 to 0.	-1	Three Stone Hearth's public record makes High-Carbon Products relevant through its ownership, sourcing, food-safety record, recurring-payment design, meat or dairy exposure, local-farmer support, platform data use, or public accountability limits. Three Stone Hearth's public record makes High-Carbon Products relevant through its ownership, sourcing, food-safety record, recurring-payment design, meat or dairy exposure, local-farmer support, platform data use, or public accountability limits. This creates a High-Carbon Products penalty because the risk comes from how the service sells, ships, sources, personalizes, renews, packages, or governs food. The value is limited where the evidence shows ordinary category exposure rather than severe or unavoidable harm.
