Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds My favorite seed supplier! Baker Creek carries only pure, non-GMO, open-pollinated heirloom seeds, with many exotic varieties from all over the world.

Dare 2 Dream Farms Peep this family-run free-range chicken farm in Lompoc, California, which supplies many beautiful breeds for backyard flocks and organic farm-fresh eggs. My lovely ladies came from this farm!

The Non-GMO Project An evolving database of food products independently tested and verified to be GMO-free... because everyone deserves an informed choice.

Environmental Working Group As someone who spends a lot of time outside, I especially like EWG's Sunscreen Guide to safe and effective sunblocks. Their Shopper's Guide to Pesticides in Produce is worth bookmarking too.
