The Organic Cotton Clothing we sew, and the
Recycled Fiber and Organic Cotton Rugs we weave are designed to combine
handcrafted quality and environmental stewardship.
O
ur Family Homestead and Clothing
Design Studio are set among rolling hills and pine forests
on a Minnesota Tree Farm. We support
sustainable agriculture and feel good about using
organically grown cotton.
The Earth is spared from the use of pesticides, herbicides, and chemical fertilizers on the acres grown organically, and so are the people who harvest and process the cotton. Our cutters and sewers are not exposed to formaldehyde and other chemicals often found in fabrics. The cotton feels soft and comfortable and is easy to care for. We can all feel good for ourselves, for our fellow man and for our world.
We are a family owned and operated business. The people that work with
us are talented artists and sewers who juggle young families and college
credits with their jobs. Everyone earns a decent wage.
We are involved in supporting rural America and preserving family
farms by serving on the boards of the Sustainable Farming Association of Minnesota, and the Central Region Sustainable Development Partnership. Our tree farm is managed in accordance with the American Tree Farm System, with a sustainable harvest plan for lumber. (Wood products will be available on line in the future.)
Wildrose Farm was selected as a recipient of the 1999 Governor's Award
for Excellence in Waste and Pollution Prevention. The award
recognized our zero
waste policy in organic cotton clothing production.
O rganically grown cotton fabrics are featured in our Women's Line.
Because we construct the garments, design and print the artwork, and dye the colors, we can offer you a great
variety of clothing that is individual and expressive. We welcome your comments and will do custom orders. Check
often as we expand this line, and update the pages with more photographs.
At this time we have no printed catalog
ready to mail, but you are welcome to print your own catalog from our
website. Please call or email us with any questions, custom orders, or requests.
