It is pretty easy to find organic fabric, but it is getting harder and harder to find organic fabric that is grown and made in the USA.

Why is it important to buy american made fabric?

1. Supporting USA farmers and USA grown agriculture

2. Support USA spinning mills

3. Support USA woven mills.  WE used to get all of our fabrics from the USA, from all the clothing we wore. In fact if you say made  in “antoher country” on the label it was of USA components and the fabric was shipped over there to have the garments made. No, so much of our fabric is made in China and other places that is it almost impossible to find fabric that is made in the USA.  Countless mills are beign shut down and people are out of work. Expensive equipment is being broken down and sold for scrap. What a waste!

4. Keeping shipping down in within the USA. Reducing the amout of fuel used from overseas production and shipping.

5. Better control over Organic grown fabric.  When something is made and shipped from overseas to the USA, it can be sprayed and you may not get something that is really “organic” as in example things that are coming from China.  The government is in charge of certification there, and it is questionable what a governemental agency will allow.

Of course #5 on the list is sujective and I am sure that someone out there could slam my opinion with bold facts from some company that they work with overseas. That is fine.  We choose to work with fabrics grown and milled in the USa becasue we believe in America and frankly we are tired of seeing plants and jobs go overseas.  When you buy from A Natural Home we go out of our way to support America.
