When I was 21 I started my own business. In the spring of 1995 Natural Selections retail organic store was born! Fast forward 20 years later, and here I am, (with 4 children) also running The Organic Company! This is our company blog where we share with you and answer questions, too!

Sweaters for TREES!
We took the little girls (Alexis and Sofia) to Iowa City today and saw that many of the trees downtown were covered in sweaters! They were hand-knitted and very colorful, the girls thought it was fun to see. It made me think about all the beautiful organic sweaters we just received from a fair trade knitter Indigenous Designs. Click the picture to see some!
Click on the picture of the paper below for a link to an article about the project, called "Yarn Bombing"...

Special Request?
This one was:
"Please write an om symbol on the outside of the box."
They are lucky that we have a sense of humor, AND that we know what an om symbol is.
(Although with google you can find just about anything....)
So, since we didn't trust ourselves to draw an om symbol very well, we did this...
Maybe this was the person playing a joke, who knows, but we wanted to make him happy!
