Company description

We are a mission-driven lifestyle company that connects agriculture and design in conscious-living home spaces. Based in Connecticut, in the foothills of the beautiful Berkshires, we are deeply connected and inspired by farming and the natural world. Our designs are created using sustainable textiles that are bold, colorful, effervescent, and are a source of comfort, security, and positive connections. Our expanding line of products includes kitchen linens, bedding, and a collection of quilts for children– all designed with 100% natural fibers.  

We consider ourselves to be stewards of the land and sea by producing sustainable and beautiful designs that celebrate the world around us. We seek to bring beauty, awareness, simplicity, sustainability, and consciousness into daily living through heirloom-quality goods that honor agriculture, history, education, tradition, and the environment through the window of art.

Health-conscious, our customers include creatives, health-conscious families, educators, chefs, restaurateurs, and farmers, among others. We believe that knowing the route and safety of the fabric we use is as important as the food we eat, and our customers value this mission. The “cloth” we use in our daily lives and the positive value of design through the natural world impacts the health of our bodies, our families, our communities, and our planet in turn. For that reason, we deliver ethically sourced and certified textiles to our customers that are free of harmful substances.
