"I am very inspired by the idea that Little Fox can sit at the intersection of hospitality, culinary arts, design + sustainability. The design of our food system has such a huge impact on our environment, this is not new news. We do not want to build a company that continues to mindlessly contribute to the problem but rather be a big part of the solution in bringing us to a more ecological food product. There are little things that we are doing now to start moving down this path including the fact that all of our packaging materials are compostable, we use local farms to supply many of our key ingredients and we make everything that goes into our ice cream from scratch so that we have a high level of control over the origin of those ingredients as well." - Meghan Koll

Audre Lord said, “Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.” So in a year of social unrest and political upheaval, let's make the most of our self-care rituals, shall we? Since self care means something different to everyone, we've curated a selection of ethically and sustainably produced self-care goods for all types of personalities. Read on and keep on keeping on (taking care of yourself).

Our Beginnings: In 2015 I was working for a local refugee resettlement agency and nonprofit organization here in San Diego. I was managing programs that help recently arrived refugees and granted asylum seekers secure employment and career advancement opportunities. I worked closely with human beings who arrived to the United States as refugees for five years, and witnessed first hand the many barriers they experienced to integrating and succeeding in our community. When I gave birth to my first child that year, I decided not to return to my previous position but to create my own social enterprise designed to create living wages and dignified employment for women who arrived as refugees. I began sourcing handmade and fair trade textiles from around the world, and paying talented women fairly to sew them into surfboard bags. Thread Spun was born.
