We support our local economy by offering well paid work to teens, as well as working parents. We work hard to maintain a brick and mortar shop, to enhance our main street and to offer sustainable/ethical goods to our community.
As a retailer of apparel, we are very aware of the negative environmental and social impacts of traditional farming and manufacturing methods. For this reason, we only sell certified organic clothing and work with companies with and high awareness, and or certification of social accountability (such as SA 8000).
We are first and foremost concerned with offering goods that are healthy for children to wear and to play with and that are produced with respect of our Planet.
Our goal for the next year+ is to become 100% biodegradable, eliminating any synthetic materials from our shelves. We are currently at about 90%f not more. We are encouraging vendors to stop sending us items wrapped or bagged in plastic, and helping them to find biodegradable alternatives if they are not aware of them.
What products and/or services does your company provide? Please be specific and thorough.
We sell a range of sustainably produced goods for children. All of our clothing is certified organic, and ethically produced. Our toys are made from sustainably harvested wood, and upcycled and or organic textiles, also ethically produced. We are aiming to be completely biodegradable by the end of 2020 - eliminating all synthetic fibers and materials from our shop. I would estimate that we are currently 90% there. We also aim for zero waste within the shop.
