I recently had the absolute pleasure of travelling to India and Bangladesh to meet with a number of our Fairtrade Certified Cotton supply partners.

Meeting our fairtrade supply partners in Bangladesh
Nothing like monsoon season in Bangladesh!!!

Brick factories in Bangladesh.....and apparently this was on a good day.....

Keeping track of the co-op business


The Neem tree is the organic farming saviour – its seeds when ground and mixed with water is a natural enemy to the bugs that reduce organic cotton crop yield.

Meeting the farmers who grow the Fairtrade Certified organic cotton we use in our products!

Everyday activity in one of the villages that will benefit from our custom

What a gorgeous family! He’s one of the quality inspectors from our co-op partner

The organic cotton seed used by our co-op partners

Finally getting my hands on the real deal!

Now thats what I call a compost heap!!! Organic farming’s answer to commercial
chemical fertiliser.

Organic farming’s holy grail – the cow urine filtration
system..... apparently a powerhouse of natural energy for an organic cotton
plant.

Meeting more farmers!

Time to get my hands dirty in some of the good stuff.

One team ploughs, and seeds and the other turns it over

Clean, beautifully organised production
