I find writing reviews on clothes hard to do, because isn’t a shirt just a shirt? That is what I thought until my package from barley and birch arrived. I have bought lots of organic clothes for my kids,but these are my favourite. As a mom, the “cool” factor is important to me, but so is the fact that a shirt will last a long time and look good! And can say many, many washes our barley and birch gear is a favourite of both me and the kids.
Our 4 year old loves the cactus tshirt we got him, and I love no matter what the stain is (strawberries, grass or something that we have no idea what it is!) it comes out with no effort what-so-ever.
Other than looking super cool in our gear, we know that buying from barley and birch is a good idea for the planet.
Environmentally, we decided to make every single facet of the line carbon neutral. Not only do we offset any emissions created by production and shipping, but we work with manufacturers and suppliers that are largely powered by solar energy. We chose only certified organic cotton and water-based inks, so we do not pollute the air and water with chemicals. We are made in the United States, so we do not emit the massive amount of carbon associated with trans-ocean shipping. We are largely paper-free and any paper involved with the line is 100% post-consumer recycled. Essentially, we chose to go beyond the level of convenience to be fair to our planet and to our customers.

Such a wide variety of services. Sounds comfortable. It’s such a big factor to give and take customers concerns.
