Organic Cotton Comforter & Pillows | IA

Because our wool is so pure we ensure what we encase it
in is just as pure.

We wrap our pillows, comforters and mattress toppers in organic GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standards) fair-trade unbleached cotton sateen sewn with organic unbleached thread, and our peace silk eye masks are covered in humane and organic silk. You will sleep better, not only because wool is wonderful to sleep with but also because you have purchased a pure, natural, chemical-free product that is good for you and good for Mother Earth.

LOCALLY SOURCED WOOL

We locally source our wool from Jóia Food & Fiber Farm, a regenerative organic farm located in northern Iowa that grows organic perennial pastures, perennial trees and shrubs for nuts and berries and raises sheep, pigs, cows and chickens the all-natural way, regeneratively organic.

Shepherds Johnny and Wendy have transformed and regenerated land that had been planted to monocultures of corn and soybeans for over 60 years to an all-perennial, certified organic, biodiverse landscape, growing a variety of plants to provide food for animals and wildlife while protecting the soil, water and air. They are bringing back grasslands and prairie that was Iowa before colonization. They work with nature not against it, creating a resilient agro-ecological farming system, giving back to nature more than they take.

For every package shipped, Jóia Food & Fiber Farm will plant a resilient native tree to help offset shipping and packaging carbon emissions.

So far, they have planted over 3,350 trees on the farm.

The Tannery is a small, women-owned and operated company that strives to treat animals, the environment, and their customers with respect. Every hide is tanned naturally and responsibly, without the use of heavy metals or harsh chemicals, giving farmers and retail clients beautiful sheepskin and goat hides, naturally.

    Offering tanning services to farmers for value-added items for their farms, and gathering hides that would otherwise become a part of the waste stream is an important part of what Driftless Tannery does.

    Dedication to the craft of tanning is a way of supporting farmers, and of honoring the animals by preserving their beauty.

    Doing so naturally, without harmful chemicals, supports the Tannery’s mission to protect and preserve water quality and the environment.

They raise organic grains, pigs, sheep, cows and poultry and use regenerative organic methods to nurture the land so that it can continue to grow food abundantly for many, many years.
