So my wife and I are having our first baby. :biggrin:
We're half hippy half yuppie. When it comes to our lifestyle we're rather modern, but when it comes to food we're extremely organic. For our baby we're preparing a room with bamboo flooring, VOC free paint, organic solid wood furniture, etc.
My wife has observed that most of the good smaller companies that sell organic furniture are really poorly designed. The professional sites are just conglomerate distributors that don't ensure what they're selling is actually organic - they just focus on buzzwords like "eco-friendly" or "non-toxic" or various industry certifications that don't mean anything to the layman.
So I was thinking about starting a new organic site. Wifey is stay-at-home, so she could become the manager of the online store. Everything we'd sell would be direct from the distributors; she'd just manage the orders.
How many people here buy organic items online? What sites are your favorite, and is there anything you've had trouble finding?
:hmm:
