21 November 2012 -- Foster a new symbiotic relationship with the bees using this plastic-free re-usable food wrap made of a blend of cotton and hemp canvas impregnated with beeswax, jojoba oil and tree resin. You can use it to cover your left over food in glass, ceramic or stainless steel containers. Or to package a sandwich or a light dry snack.

Simply use the warmth of your hands and some gentle pressure to shape the wrap around your food or dishes to protect. The flat will stiffen as it cools.

We are introducing 4 different food wrapping products:

1) The Flats

Use these wrap sheets for protecting the contents of your lidless leftover dishes.
 These are pliable enough to wrap around oddly shaped items like, for example, half a watermelon or cucumber. Perfect for protecting cheese. Each package contains 3 flats with the following dimensions: one 18 X 18 cm / 7 X 7" flat (small) one 25 X 25 cm / 10 X 10" flat (medium) one 33 X 33 cm / 13 X 13" flat (large).  They are sized to adapt to the various containers you have at home from small to large. Available here for $16.95.

We're thrilled to be featured in the November/December issue of Mother Earth Living, which is currently on the news stands. The article Purge Plastics: Reduce your intake of potentially harmful chemicals by getting your food off its plastic dependency, provides a solid overview of the plastics issue and some handy tips on how to reduce plastic use in your life. The article even explicitly describes what is a large part of our mission statement:  "Although plastic is ubiquitous, learning a bit more about the most dangerous types and replacing plastic with practical, easy-to-find alternatives will keep you and your family safe."
