2010 Donation Time!

As part of our 1% for the Planet commitment, we are proud to announce donations to The Organic Seed Alliance, PCC Farmland Trust, The Nature Conservancy, and the National Park Foundation. 

We selected these organizations because of their great local initiatives, both social and environmental, and because we have directly enjoyed the results of their work in the past year; from the trails we walk to the food we eat. 

As members of 1% for the Planet, we donate 1% of our annual sales to environmental causes. Thanks to everyone who supported us in 2010 for helping to make this donation possible!

New Chi-Chi in the shop!

We just added new 3 strand Chi-Chi necklaces to the Grain shop this afternoon. They are available in green (pictured above), blue, orange and pink/red for $36.00.

Chi-Chi is made from 100% cotton by Guatemalan artisans, and like all our products, their sales support our commitment to 1% For The Planet.
