Our Story
The natural alternative to plastic wrap for food storage — because good food deserves good care.
Bee’s Wrap started with a question facing many families and home cooks: How could we eliminate plastics in our kitchen in favor of a healthier, more sustainable way to store our food? Founder Sarah Kaeck discovered the answer in her own Vermont kitchen, where Kaeck rediscovered a lost tradition: After coating cotton with beeswax, she created a washable, reusable, compostable alternative to plastic wrap. Today Bee’s Wrap is handcrafted from organic cotton, sustainably harvested beeswax, organic jojoba oil, and tree resin. The resulting wraps provide a versatile and durable solution to sustainable food storage. Bee’s Wrap is available in more than 700 stores across the United States, and is also distributed internationally in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Singapore, Hong Kong, New Zealand, and Australia.
Bee’s Wrap is handcrafted in Bristol, Vermont, and ships worldwide.

USES
Incredibly versatile, Bee’s Wrap can be used to cover a bowl, wrap up cheese, fruit, vegetables and bread, or to pack a snack for your next adventure. Use the warmth of your hands to form our wraps around a piece of food or over a bowl or casserole dishes. As the wrap cools, it will hold its shape.

About the Founder
Good food has always been central to Bee’s Wrap founder Sarah Kaeck’s life in Vermont. A mother of three, she’s been by turns an avid gardener, a milker of goats, and a keeper of chickens. Believing good food deserves good care, Kaeck set out to find a healthier and more sustainable alternative to plastics in her family’s kitchen. An avid seamstress, she began experimenting with beeswax-imbued fabrics — and discovered Bee’s Wrap. For months, the comforting smell of melting beeswax filled her home. Three short years later, what started as an idea in Kaeck’s home kitchen has evolved into a thriving business located in its own workshop in Bristol, Vermont. In addition to interviews about Bee’s Wrap, Sarah is available for media requests relating to women and entrepreneurship; sustainability; and social entrepreneurship.
