Sustainably Harvested
Argington
Cribs and "modern children's furniture" made from sustainable materials. "We are passionate about working as a family to craft furniture for other families. Their design aesthetic is "clean, simple, and tasteful. Our children are the inspiration for each new design and each piece is crafted to have that personal feel." Sustainability is expressed in both design and materials. "Our furniture is designed with longevity and reusability as an essential criterion. We offer adjustable seating that grows with your child, table tops that are reusable and also are adjustable, cribs that convert to toddler beds, space saving trundle beds, and storage solutions that are multifunctional and adaptable to a myriad of styles and conditions. We create designs that are crafted to be timeless and can easily be passed from one child to the next...Argington uses 99% wood products in it's furniture, with virtually no mdf, particle board, flake board or other similar engineered wood products. The wood comes from managed renewable forrests established specifically to provide long-term responsible solutions towards the growing demand of timber related products - FSC certified. Our finishes are non-toxic and can withstand the test of time. Aside from our solid wood components, the birch plywood used in our products are made with low emission glues which nearly eliminate long term emissions and offgasing. We have even coordinated efforts with our energy efficient production facilities to develop manufacturing processes that help maximize yeild and minimize waste of raw material."

Boccalone
Artisan cured meats, fresh sausages, and cooked specialties made with "sustainably raised, heritage-breed pork, Italian sea salt, and the freshest spices with the rarest ingredient of all: time. Our small-batch, hands-on methods and traditional cold curing techniques can take up to ten times longer than other producers'. Why sacrifice efficiency? Because taking our time lets us focus every step of our process on a single goal: great taste. Fine salumi are more than mere salted meats. At their best, salumi connect us to the earth, reveal the essence of the whole animal, demonstrate respect for our ancestors, and inspire our humanity." I discovered this place while on a trip to San Francisco, and it is absolutely the best. Truly a labor of love. Read their website to learn more about their philosophy of food,

Kids Collection Organic
A whole collection of cribs and furniture for babies and kids (some suitable for adults too) made from all-natural materials (organic in the name refers to the materials being of nature--no petrochemicals are used). All pieces are made with FSC-certified solid wood, handmade by local Amish craftsmen. Stains and finishes are plant-based, food-safe, water-soluable, and VOC-free (the owner said to me "I've licked this finish off my hands."). Construction waste is minimal as wood scraps and sawdust are used for heat; wood chips and shredded paper are used for animal bedding. The only exception is a water-based glue, which is the least-toxic glue they could find. They have a good range of styles, both traditional and modern.
