Sourcing

Everything we sell is Sustainably Sourced.

Sustainably Sourced means: of, relating to, or being a method of harvesting or using a resource so that the resource is not depleted or permanently damaged. We do not use terms like "Ethically Sourced" because ethicality is subjective and depends on each person's morals and values. Sustainability is really important to us and we vet our sources intensely. 

 

Our bones are sourced from animals that died of natural causes and were procured in compliance with Virginia state law.​ All products are legally harvested, purchased, or obtained as per Virginia state  law.

​

Most of my insect specimens are purchased from small businesses/ rearers who have hand raised them and are procured after passing naturally. The few exotic species I use are from licensed conservatories that only procure specimens after they have passed of natural causes.

​

Our flora is foraged and dried myself from various parts of VA

or purchased from other small businesses.
