From food to furniture, we're always sure to do a little digging when it comes to finding out a bit more about the manufacturing practices of products we're thinking about buying. With food, we like to shop local and opt to pick up produce from our farmer's market. We also buy bulk items that we store in glass jars instead of plastic packageing. When we do buy animal products, we research thoroughly and check labels to make sure that we purchase from companies that support the humane treatment of animals.
