We’re excited to introduce you to @greenllamacle

We’re excited to introduce you to @greenllamaclean, a Johnson City, TN–based small business redefining how we think about cleaning products. During the pandemic, partners Kay Baker and Dr. Matt Keasey were inspired to reduce their family’s plastic waste and limit their exposure to the harmful chemicals found in conventional household cleaning products. Embarking on an entrepreneurial journey, they’ve created a mission-driven, sustainable company offering a line of nontoxic cleaners from dishwasher pods to laundry detergent. With people and the planet at the heart of their mission, Green Llama creates non-toxic, low-waste cleaning products where a healthy home and environment go hand in hand.

To read our Q&A with founder Kay Baker, visit our blog using the link in our bio.

Love seeing native plant installations as part of this public school. The greenery is soothing to students and people walking by 🌿. Plants used this way also lower surrounding temperatures and provide food, shelter and habitat for insects.

I recently spent an afternoon in Highland Park, a neighborhood just northeast of Los Angeles. My absolute favorite hair stylist @washedoutsalon works out of a funky neighborhood salon there called Bunny’s. After grabbing a matcha and the crispy hippie wrap from @itshighlylikely I took a stroll. These are some of the standouts for me which I highly recommend if you like books, vintage, local food, good coffee, and/or sustainable, locally made low waste goods!

During my last visit to Santa Fe, NM, I finally made it to @moderngeneralfeedandseed . This local gem features the best coffee and freshest breakfast I had during my stay. The bright space draws you in with fresh flowers, and thoughtfully placed bright yellows. Their curated selection offers visitors beautiful handmade goods, organic seeds, and reading material for anyone who loves the natural world. A visit to Santa Fe wouldn’t be complete without a stop here 💛

In our latest blog post we explore the benefits of choosing heirloom and organic seeds from local and independent seed producers. Learn how the decisions you make for your veggie garden can positively affect the larger environment around you.
