It’s THE go-to resource for finding locally grown, raised and produced products.
So don’t stop at pumpkins for your Halloween festivities.
On LocalHarvest you’ll find an abundance of local Fall fare – including apples, pears, cabbage, cranberries, corn, pomegranate, grapes, nuts, root veggies and kale – and can decrease your carbon-footprint while supporting your local farmers, too.
If you are a green-minded Mom or Dad with a baby (or baby on the way, here are some pregnancy tips), you’ve likely heard about Speesees clothing.
According to their website, here’s a little more about their company.
speesees ingredients::
100% skal-certified organic cotton
low-impact dyes
pigment + pvc-free prints
nickel-free snaps
no formaldehyde
no dioxin
lots of love
Okay, great, you say, so what’s this got tot do with Halloween?
Plenty!
In addition to eco-adorable baby and toddler clothes, Speesees also makes two jackets that are perfect for Halloween costumes: the lamb jacket and the bear jacket.
Why is organic cotton ideal for Halloween costumes? Because it’s safer and more sustainable than polyester ( which is what the baby bunting costumes found in conventional costume store are made from).

Great ideas! I love that they’re not too “costume-y” or made from suffocating plastic. And of course, they’re so cute.
