At Found Up North Co., our love for New England goes hand-in-hand with a deep respect for its natural resources. We believe in supporting practices that protect it for generations to come. That's why sustainability is at the heart of Found Up North Co.

Partnering with thoughtful makers:

We carefully select our partners – the small businesses and farms across New England – based not only on the quality of their craft but also on their commitment to sustainable practices. This includes:

• Locally sourced ingredients and materials: Many of our makers prioritize using ingredients and materials sourced right here in New England, reducing transportation emissions and supporting the local economy.

• Responsible harvesting and production: We seek out makers who employ responsible harvesting methods, minimize waste in their production processes, and prioritize the health of the environment.

• Natural and organic goods: We pay close attention to ingredient lists when curating goods for the site. No harmful chemicals or pesticides allowed here!

• Small-batch production: The small-scale nature of our makers' operations often inherently leads to less waste and a more mindful approach to production. Championing this slower production was a main motivator behind the creation of the brand!

Our packaging choices:

While some of our makers handle the direct shipping of their goods, we are committed to encouraging and utilizing eco-friendly packaging whenever possible. We strive to:

• Use recycled materials in our own packaging

• Minimize packaging while ensuring the goods you order are protected

Supporting a local ecosystem:

By choosing to shop with Found Up North Co., you're not just supporting small businesses; you're also contributing to a more sustainable local ecosystem. You're helping to preserve traditional crafts, support responsible farming, and reduce the environmental impact associated with long-distance shipping and mass production.

Our ongoing journey:

We recognize that sustainability is an ongoing journey, and we are committed to continuously learning and improving our practices. We will continue to seek out partners who share our values and explore new ways to minimize our environmental footprint.

Thank you for joining us in our commitment to a greener New England. We believe that together, we can enjoy the wonderful products of our region while protecting the beauty that inspires them.
