The Joinery
“Solid Wood Furniture for Life…The Joinery designs and handcrafts beautiful hardwood furniture for residential and commercial spaces. Using traditional woodworking techniques and hardwoods from sustainable forest resources, each piece of Joinery’s wood furniture is wholly built and proudly signed by an individual builder in our Portland, Oregon wood shop. All of our handmade furniture for the home is warranted for a lifetime of real-world use.” These pieces are simply beautiful. Sustainably harvested woods are finished with their own linseed/tung/citrus/soy blend (no solvents), then sanded and finished with their own beeswax/citrus wax. Customer service told me “new pieces do have a smell to it, but if people are sensitive, we can hold the pieces here they have purchased until the smell is gone.”

A & B American Style
They had me with their headline: “Our mission is to take sugar out of the American diet.” They make all-natural condiments using real, whole ingredients. No sugar. Nothing artificial. At the moment it’s a few pepper sauces. But I hope they do more and go organic.

Cultures for Health
The best way for me to describe this website is “organic do-it-yourself heaven!” They sell all kinds of DIY for making foods like fermented foods, cheesemaking, brewing, sprouting, and more. Their message is You Can Do This yourself at home, and they provide everything from supplies to instructions to cheering you on. I love this site and can’t wait to use it to make these foods myself.
Coconut Secret
Delicious condiments made from the sap of the coconut tree, using raw methods aging or evaporating at low temperatures. Their Coconut Aminos is one of my favorite condiments—slightly sweet with very low carbs. They also make Coconut Vinegar, Coconut Nectar (sweetener) and coconut crystals (sweetener). Read their website for lots of information about coconut nutrition and harvesting.
PACT
This is what I like. You go to their website and the first thing you see is “Super Soft ORGANIC cotton. No toxic dyes. No toxic pesticides. No sweatshops. No child labor.” That pretty much says it. Casual clothing, underwear, socks and leggings, tank tops, hoodies. Women, men, baby. GOTS certified.
Little Seed Farm
Organic skin care from a solar-powered family farm that raises goats. Liquid and bar soaps are made from the raw milk of their own goats with certified organic olive and coconut oils. Additions are real ingredients, such as vanilla extract derived from fermented vanilla beans, and poppy seeds for “scrub.”
