Potting Shed Creations
Creative “starters” for growing gardens anywhere, including upcycling bottles into practical planters, garden-in-a-(rice paper)-bag for sunny windowsills, darling replanted steel “window boxes” to grow indoors on a sill, and many more clever ideas for your own home or gifts. And, they have their own USDA organic certification for handling seeds and bulbs, in addition to the materials being organic, renewable, found, and reclaimed. I loved browsing this site and getting ideas for how to grow food in simple ways.
Daneson
“Fine flavored toothpicks” that come in little glass vials so you can carry them with you. They are made in the USA from birch and other materials obtained from American and Canadian suppliers. The company is a net contributor to the environment, maintaining a minimum 1:100 ratio of milling to repeating forestland. The flavors are original blends, all natural, and organic when possible.
Summit Spring
Raw “Living” Spring Water “gathered from one of the oldest and most revered natural spring water sources in North America and comes to you just as it “bubbles from the spring™” mere minutes after leaving the Earth…Summit Spring, the source of Raw Water, is so pure that we were given the first and only exemption from treatment in Maine’s history. Summit Spring water exceeds every State and Federal guideline for drinking water, straight from the ground…The fact that we capture real, natural Maine spring water from a centuries old true free-flowing source, without the use of pumps or boreholes and then gravity feed the water to our bottling facility located just 50′ away, without any transport, with complete control over “cradle to grave” packaging coupled with decades long testing and safety history-gave the regulatory bodies confidence in awarding this unprecedented approval.” Comes in glass or PET bottles.
Essential Oxygen
This dental “brushing rinse” made of food-grade hydrogen peroxide, aloe and a potent blend of USDA certified organic essential oils. Developed by the founder to solve her own dental problems, it whitens teeth, heals gums, freshens breath, improves tooth sensitivity, kills oral bacteria, and more. I’ve tried this and love it. It’s a rinse and tooth cleaner in one, just swish it around in your mouth and then brush your teeth. It made me smile!
Essential Oxygen
Pure 3% food-grade stabilizer-free hydrogen peroxide that you can safely use for first aid, body and oral care, produce washing, household surfaces, dishwasher, laundry and stains, plants and garden, pets and more. “The hydrogen peroxide found in brown bottles in drugstores is intended for cosmetic and industrial use, It is manufactured with stabilizers to extend shelf life…which contain significant quantities of heavy metals and other toxins, such as sodium phosphate, sodium stagnate, acetanilide, and phenol.”
Long Life Teas
“Long Life Tea was developed over 400 years ago for the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty by his Royal Physicians. The Emperor was very specific that his tea must provide pleasure & health, have an attractive appearance, and provide a pleasant aroma. Today all Long Life Teas honor these same principals. We create organic, good tasting healthy teas and each blend follows the Chinese philosophy of bringing balance and harmony.” All teas are handcrafted, using the finest quality certified organic herbs and teas. “The filter paper is not heat-sealable, therefore no type of glue has been added to it, the thread is made of natural cotton and the innovative method for fixing the thread does not use metal staples or adhesives, and each tag offers a special proverb.” Choose from green teas combined with various herbs, plus a detox tea and the original “long life” blend.
Dapwood Furniture
Handcrafted solid wood platform beds and bedroom furniture made from walnut, cherry, hard maple and oak, plant-based natural stains, and nontoxic finishes (also available unfinished “for MCS”). These bed frames can be customized for height and length, mix woods and finishes for style, add wheels or casters, and reclining headboard option. Styles range from simple to…well, whatever you want! This is beautiful furniture.
Vermont Bunkbeds
Sturdy, simple bunk beds, loft beds and beds with drawers beneath, made from local Vermont hardwoods. Finished in your choice of colors with Natura Zero-VOC paint or Old-Fashioned Milk Paint with Vermont Natural Coatings finish. “In shopping for bunk beds for their own children, Scott & Amy realized the need for a safer product that would hold up to the every day demands of their active boys and yet still be affordable for the everyday family. So Scott and Amy began dreaming of devoting their skills and experience to building solid wood beds that would be safe for children and affordable for parents.”
Beard Products
Simple and straightforward “high quality Beard Products priced affordably and made with the best organic ingredients. All of our products are formulated with natural components that specifically support your beard’s growth and potential.”
Floral Encounters
Certified organically grown seeds for specialty herbs and flowers, all grown and harvested on their own farm. They have a very long list of herb seeds, including seeds for harsh environments and seeds for deer resistant plants. Because they are a small farm, they sell their seed semi-cleaned. “This means that not all the plant material from around the seed is removed. Doing this is extremely time consuming and labor intensive and the main reason that seeds are as expensive as they are. So to keep the costs down we remove as much debris as possible but leave the more difficult pieces. So when you get your seeds, they won’t be pristine and just seeds; they will have other bits of plant material in with them.” I don’t mind that at all. Shows they are hand-harvested and not put through mechanical processing.
