Sustainable Seed Company
“Good food comes from good seed” is the first thing I saw when I went to this website and they definitely have good seed. “Since 2008, we’ve been offering heirloom seeds, garden seeds, and organic heirloom seeds – non-hybrid vegetable, flower, and herb seeds. We are America’s best source for heirloom vegetable seeds, heritage grains and herb seeds. We wanted to offer heirloom seeds for one reason: they’re not only our history, but our security. You can save the seeds of the vegetables, herbs and grains we offer, and with the proper methods, reliably get the same plants for generations to come. We’re also a CERTIFIED ORGANIC seed farm – setting us apart from many others who only resell seed. With over 1,800 varieties for you to choose from (over 700 of them bulk seed and 600 of them organic seeds), we’re also the web’s premiere source for backyard gardeners and farmers alike.” The only seed company powered with sustainable energy.
Straw Free
Reuable drinking straws, handmade from sustainably harvested bamboo. “Each bamboo straw is hand-made by volunteers using local bamboo and will vary slightly in color and size. All proceeds go to education and outreach about the impact of plastic pollution.”
Wolf’s Eyelash – Transformational Beauty
Whole organic skin care. “It’s ALL about the ingredients. Just like your food, fresh, local and organic is best. Fresh, organic and local ingredients yield higher nutrient content which means better results. We work with local farms to use only the best, fresh stuff for our products in its whole form. That’s why our products work so well! We use only whole plants from organic, wildcrafted and sustainable sources paired with a proprietary USDA organic compliant, food grade preservation system that is 100% natural.

Sensitively Yours
Nickel-free earrings in many styles—from simple to fancy. “Made from the most irritant-free metals available to eliminate skin and ear sensitivity and to ensure a comfortable fit. Normal piercing studs are made from 302 surgical steel. Our hypoallergenic earrings for sensitive ears are made from one grade higher, 304 surgical steel. We then use 7 to 10 mil of pure 24K gold overlay on not only every surgical steel post, but all other parts of the earring as well, including the backs. Pure 24K gold and surgical steel are some of the most irritant-free materials available – they are affordable and suitable for jewelry.”
Blomdahl USA
Skin-friendly earrings, necklaces and bracelets, developed in consultation with a skin specialist. “All of our earrings are made with Medical Plastic or Medical Grade Titanium. These medical grade materials ensure maximum comfort and safety for people who struggle with nickel sensitivity.” From a toxicity viewpoint, I would choose the titanium over plastic.
