In the last year we have encountered a gradual increase in organic cotton prices, but it just keeps going up and up. Part of this has to deal with the higher costs in fuel, but for the most part is has to do with the increased awareness of the importance of organic cotton.

Because we buy only usa organic cotton, we are paying even higher prices for our batting as more and more companies are buying up the organic cotton.

One of the things we all need to be aware of is China is getting into the organic cotton movement.  Since they have little or no regulations on organics, it is hard to say how organic it is actually . Recently, a Chinese company bought one of the largest conventional USA cotton farms. This is scary. Why?  Well, the obvious is that we are selling our land to the highest bidder.  We are selling our cotton to another country.  How far away are we from selling our organic cotton farms to another country all in favor of the allmighty dollar?

When you buy organic cotton, ask where is it coming from. This does matter, in the big picture, and where we want our organic materials to come from now and in the future.

Why am I telling you all of this, it is more than just about a price increase it is about awareness.  Shop for price but shop for where it is coming from too!
