Cambridge Naturals is committed to sourcing products locally, organically, and ethically via fair and direct trade channels, and to donating a portion of our profits to social justice and environmental organizations. As part of our vision for a more just, equitable and sustainable world, we strive to partner with businesses owned by women, LGBTQ, and BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color).
For those who have asked (thank you!) we’ve provided a list of black-owned partner brands in this post. It is possible that this list is incomplete, and if we have forgotten to include anyone, we are truly sorry and will correct that. And, if we listed your company here and you don’t identify as black, but instead as BIPOC, brown, black-brown (as we learned from the instagram stories of ceramicist Not Work Related), we are truly sorry for mislabeling and please let us know. And also please feel free to reach out if there are other brands you’d like us to carry in the future.
We want to be careful to say that this post is not meant to highlight how great we are for partnering with these wonderful brands (we have a lot of work to do). These companies are indeed wonderful, as are their products, and the aim of this post is to help our customers (especially non-POC customers) direct their dollars towards black-owned brands. We are grateful for the opportunity to help you do so!
(In full transparency, Covid-19 has had a severe impact on our sales since mid March, when we closed our doors to the public to protect our team and switched to phone/web orders. We aim to invest in partnerships with many more BIPOC-owned and specifically black-owned companies as we are able to do so. Thank you for understanding!)
