One Knot Knits
“Cozy knits made by hand with responsibly sourced fibers…I am very particular when choosing my fibers – they are as natural as possible. Some are organic, some are fair trade, and all are purchased from farms, small businesses, or fellow Etsy sellers. I focus on using yarns that are made in the United States or made using fair trade practices around the world. You will not find acrylic yarn or chemically treated yarn in this shop! I only knit with natural fibers, including sheep’s wool, alpaca, llama, silk, cotton, and bamboo.” Hats mittens, scrarves and other accessories for women and babies. image:{organic wool mittens

Easy Living Hats
Beautiful colorful hats crocheted by a grandma from organic cotton yarn. “I have decided to focus on making hats that resembled traditional millinery but were made through a crochet method. When I researched millinery I found that not only was it extremely expensive to purchase all the equipment and supplies necessary, but it was toxic too. The term “mad hatter” came from the fact that all the sprays and stiffeners used to shape the hat were making the workers sick during production. I crocheted a sun hat and fitted a wire in the edge of the brim to look like a straw hat. What I found was how much more practical it was. Not only was it light weight, but it stretched to fit.”
Vejibag
Specially designed bags for storing vegetables made from 100% U.S. grown and milled Organic cotton fabric and thread. ” It keeps all kinds of humidity-loving perishables fresh, crisp, and tasty for a week or more. Damp cloth bags keep moisture-loving vegetables moist and crisp in a high humidity environment. Moisture slowly evaporates from the surface of the bag to keep both the bag and the vegetables “breathing.” A slightly moist bag keeps vegetables crisp, often several days beyond storage in either a crisper drawer or plastic bag.”

The Philospher’s Stoneground Sprouted Nut Butters
About a year and a half after originally posting this I happened to encounter the creator of this business at the Heirloom Food Exhibition and tasted this almond butter. It is AMAZING. The flavor of almonds is much stronger than usual almond butter and it feels more alive. Way beyond ordinary food,……Spouted almond butters made from organic unpasteurized Spanish almonds sprouted in spring water and sea salt. Finished butter contains only residual salt from the sprouting process. “Sprouting makes almonds sweeter, more digestible, and more nutritious…Our sprouted almond butters feature unpasteurized, truly raw almonds from Spain, which have been grown using dry-farming methodology, a traditional water-sustainable and regionally-adapted approach to almond agriculture. We are the first drought-adapted almond butter company and intend to continue pioneering this path. All of our ingredients are Certified Organic and meticulously sourced. We create gluten-free, peanut-free, sweetener-free, Paleo, raw, and vegan sprouted almond butters.”
