As Earth Day approaches every year, we always take a moment to look around us and see how we can do better. Since day one in the shop (almost 8 years ago now!), we have carried items that we wanted to have and could never find in shops. Some things have changed over the years, for example 8 years back we would hear "Why would anyone want to buy a stainless steel straw?" or "What the heck is Bee's Wrap?" and now we hear that much less as those items have become more commonplace now. This is great change as we all work to better the health of our environment and every little thing counts. As we come upon this year's Earth Day celebrations, we've compiled a list of some of our favorite eco-items (and why) below.
1. Baggu Grocery Bags Yes, we know, everyone's got grocery bags-they're not nearly as unique as they were many years ago, but I will say that of all of the bags accumulated over the years, these are always our go-to still. Of course we love the fun designs, but most importantly these bags are a buy-it-once item. You'll probably get sick of hearing that term if you read through all of these, but it's something important to us. We have never worn out a Baggu grocery bag. Never torn one, never ripped one and we work our Baggus. I've never put so moany grocery in a bag and not had to worry about it ripping. They are strong, durable and fun to look at. We also us them for travel (remember traveling?) to sort out dirty laundry or lug a few things with us when walking around. Shop Baggu Grocery Bags here.
2. Bee's Wrap We've sold and used at home, this brand of eco-friendly, reusable food wraps for 7 years. There are many other brands now that are out there on the market, but just like Baggu above, we have found that these are the best at keeping our food fresh, the easiest to use and come from an all-around great small business in Vermont. We have seen Sarah and her crew at Bee's Wrap grow tremendously over the last 7 years, but they remain committed to their core values of being a sustainable, green company and combatting plastic waste. Bee's Wrap is made from 3 simple ingredients coating organic cotton and creating a pliable, tight covering for anything from cheese to loaves of bread to half of an avocado-anything you would use plastic wrap for. With proper use and care, this product can last for a year or longer effectively replacing throw--away plastic wrap and removing it from our landfills. It's easy to try out at an affordable starting price of $6.25! Shop Bee's Wrap here.
3. Enamelware Many people think of enamelware as "camp dishes" which is entirely accurate but they have so many more great uses! They are great for kids and great for the clumsier among us as they are shatterproof-and on that note great for patio and poolside that tend to have stone bases that don't take well to dropping breakable dishes. Ok so as great as those attributes are-why are they on our Earth Day list? Well quite frankly, many people use these as patio plates in place of disposable plastic and paper plates. We have a stack of these that we use only for backyard picnics and barbecues. They stack well and don't take up much for space, they are dishwasher safe and again, using them as replacements for disposable will also save you money over time. Save money and the environment? Win-win. Shop enamelware here.
4. Swedish Dish Cloths If you've ever used one, you already know the benefits right off the bat. We use these as sponge and paper towel replacements. They are almost impossible to destroy, they are machine washable and work great for dishes, countertops and glass. Also, compostable when you're done with them! These will save many paper towels from the landfill and with a low cost they will also save you money over time. Other benefits include the beautiful designs, they make great inexpensive gifts and ship easily -just toss them in an envelope! Shop Swedish Dish Cloths here.
5. STRW Bamboo Utensil Set These handy sets have everything you need-fork, knife, spoon, straw, chopsticks and a cleaner brush for your straw. Washable canvas pouch and dishwasher safe utensils can replace your throw-away plastic utensils and straws. It's lightweight and easy to carry and clean making it, in our opinions, the best travel companion for the eco-minded! Stash one in your desk at work, keep them with your picnic basket or supply your kids with one for their lunches. Shop STRW sets here.
6. Kobo Seed Candles Packaging can be one of the biggest environmental issues-all if that throw away cardboard, plastic, styrofoam. One of our first ever product lines-so again, 8 years strong- is the Kobo Seed candle. Each amazing scent is made with soy wax and eco-cotton wicks (no lead! no petroleum!) and poured in a reusable/recyclable glass container. But the best part is the box it comes in is made of post-consumer recycled paper embedded with seeds of whichever scent you choose! Soak the box in water-plant it and watch them grow! Tomatoes to Lavender to Sunflowers and more. It's the gift that keeps on giving-literally. Don't forget, Mother's Day is around the corner! Shop Seed Candles here.
7. Vejibags I can tell you how these work, but maybe not why they do the amazing things they do. If you're not familiar, these are simple organic cotton bags, US made that are built to keep your leafy greens fresh and crisp for up to 2 weeks. We often hear "Do these really work?" and we can say from about 5 years experience with them that yes they do! Not only do they keep your leafy greens fresh, they will also refresh them if they wilt before you get them home or you leave them on the counter too long. That's the part I just don't understand, but I have seen it work many times! Great for CSAs as they are usually a week or two's worth of veggies and once. Less food waste and also less trips to the store when you can keep veggies fresh longer! And zero waste of course! Shop Vejibags here.
8. Indoor/Outdoor Rugs Odd to think of how a rug could be eco-friendly, but our line of indoor/outdoor rugs are made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic bottles. Our patio line feels almost like cushy plastic straws and works great on patios and porches and our P.E.T. line feels like cotton or wool by using very fine fibers made from old bottles. From 20 to hundreds of years for plastic to break down, as a society we need to not only cut plastic waste, but figure out what to do with the plastic we already have and are undoubtedly going to have going forward. Making long-lasting, durable housewares that will last for years is one way to use it! Shop recycled rugs here.
9. Weck Jars Our favorite jars for storing homemade foods, canning garden bounty and bringing along to the market for bulk buys! A very stylish way to store your foods as well! Bonus points for stacking ability as well (cabinet or countertop space saver!) Ditch the one-use flimsy plastic bags and fill up your Weck jars! Shop Weck here.
10. Produce Bags On that same note, if you prefer to use bags instead of jars for your bulk goods, the 3-pack of our handmade Dot & Army mesh bags are the perfect solution. My favorite part of these is that the tare weight is stitched onto the side of each bag so no need to hassle with weighing first. US made by a small business in Georgia. Another way to ditch the plastic bags! Shop produce bags here.
There's more ways in-store to make your home and lives a little more green-come by and see us for more! ~Andy & Abby

It's that time of year again and what a strange year it's been. Holiday shopping won't be quite as easy as years past but we've put together a few tips and pointers and answered some FAQs here to help make things a bit easier!
Shopping in-person:
Holiday Season Hours: Now through Christmas 10-6, closed Tuesdays, Sunday 11-5.
Christmas Eve 10-4, Closed Christmas Day, Sunday 12/26 12-4
-Capacity of the shops are at 25 people! Please shop solo if possible, we can not accommodate large crowds coming through this year and the waiting line is outside in the winter weather.
-Dress warm in case you do need to wait outside and both shops will be much cooler inside this year as well with fresh air coming through.
-For everyone's safety, distancing, sanitizing and wearing a mask properly are all strict requirements. We can not allow in anyone wearing a mask that does not cover both their nostrils and mouth.
-Your mask can not be taken off, therefor talking on phones or bringing food or drinks in will not be allowed this year.
-The day of the week that you choose to shop in-store also matters. Weekends and the week of Christmas will likely be at capacity. Keep this in mind if you are able to come earlier in the season or during the week and beat the crowds!
-Gift wrapping this year with consist of our bags with tissue and color ribbon only. This is to keep things moving faster at the registers and keep people from standing around waiting for wrapping. The faster people are in and out of the shops the safer it is for you and everyone else during this time!
Shipping orders:
-Ship early!! We can not stress this enough! If you would like to ship an order please use the website to place your orders. We do not have any control over how fast something moves in shipping once it leaves our hands and with the delays happening this year with the major carriers, please ship early!
Most orders ship within 24 hours, but with current delays in USPS/FEDEX/UPS, please get any holiday orders in early! We have no control over any shipping delays that may occur once items leave the shop! All 3 carriers have a recommended cut-off date of 12/15 for Xmas delivery
-Please place all shipping orders online. Staffing is light this year with COVID and we may not be able to take phone calls for shipping orders as easily as before.
-Please make sure your shipping information is accurate to avoid delays and issues with your shipment. Most orders ship within 24 hours and your tracking will be sent to you when it ships.
-If an item is out of stock online or only has a certain amount left, that is the same as what we have in stock at the store. Calling in an order does not change inventory availability.
-If you'd like to send a note along, please type that note into the notes section at checkout and we will include it for you.
-For any other shipping questions please review our regular shipping policy on the bottom of the homepage.
Picking Up Orders/ Curbside:
-Please place any pickup orders online and choose pickup at checkout. Staffing is light this year with COVID and we may not be able to take phone calls for pick-ups as easily as before.
-Please wait until you have been notified that your order is ready before arriving to pick it up.
-If an item is out of stock online or only has a certain amount left, that is the same as what we have in stock at the store. Calling in an order does not change inventory availability.
-Pick ups can occur during any of our open hours (once you've been notified it's ready)
Please keep in mind that these are mostly new policies put in place for the safety of our customers, staff and their families and friends. Thank you for reading along and following these policies! We love seeing your faces at the holidays (and year round too of course!), but this year is obviously a tough year for everyone and we just want to make sure everyone is healthy and safe. As always, we appreciate your business and support!!

* We are currently back open for walk-in. Please see our more current posts or hours section for most up-to-date info!
We have had to recently take away the "pick up in store" option from our checkout (due to shipping customers choosing it in error many, many times) but nonetheless you can still choose "pick up" by simply entering code PICKUP at checkout. For credit card processing purposes, you will still have to enter your address for verification, but we will see your code when packing your order and contact you when it is ready! You can still combine items from both shops on the site and we will combine them for one easy pickup!]]>We're easing back in to being open for in-person shopping and both shops will open Thursday June 11th from 11-5 and be open through Sunday. At that point we will determine our hours going forward. We have shortened our hours and we will be open less days a week for sure and we will post here as soon as that schedule is set. If you are coming out to visit the shop please remember these important changes since the last time you were in:
-Masks are required for entry, must be worn for the entire visit and must cover your nose and mouth
-Sanitizing your hands with the provided sanitizer at the entry is mandatory
-6 foot distancing from anyone not in your group, including staff and customers is mandatory

-Our current capacity for Phase 2 is 6 customers at a time. You may have to wait outside for entry so please prepare for that possibility-think about the weather :) Also, if you are traveling in a group, some people in your group may have to wait outside and take turns coming in.
-The above listed rules are state mandated and we can be shut down for not following them so there is no flexibility in these-please respect the rules-they are listed on our door as a reminder when you arrive
These rules are going to be the same as all other downtown shops (with the exception of capacity as shop square footage varies of course)
We have made changes to the shop to make these new rules as easy as possible to follow including wider aisles, sanitizer stations, larger spaces in between registers, guidelines on the floor for distancing, easier viewing of pricing and product details with signage and forward facing price stickers. Our staff is smaller due to the restrictions and our supply of some items is limited due to our makers different situations in the states they are making product in. If you're not quite ready to come back in to the shop but need something, curbside is still available by purchasing online and choosing pick-up at checkout.
