Why Stitchworks(™)?
Stitchworks(™) is an ethos that involves weaving together seemingly separate parts, leveraging the strengths of each, to create a harmonious result with greater total benefit.
Where we stand.
Stitchworks(™) holds three (3) key operational values, which guide our brand, product, and service experience.
Intentional sourcing: Safe and high quality ingredients from suppliers who lead with environmental protection and give-back efforts
Inclusive education: Information and learning supported by both peer-reviewed research and lived experience, including ancestral wisdom and cultural practice
Reciprocity in relationship:
Equitable partnerships that center mutual healing, joy, dignity & peace
Ongoing awareness building and incorporation of socially and environmentally restorative and regenerative practices
Many of our ingredients are organic, from biodynamic ecosystems, and backed by fair trade & wages. *Full compliance on these measures is part of our north star.
Our research and the sources supporting our understanding, definitions, approach to blends, and information in the Plant & Fungi Library are rooted in both 1) scientific research, conducted by entities such as the National Institutes of Health, and 2) lived experience of herbalists, community healing leaders, and wellness practitioners.
Where possible, we strive to work with geographically proximate and women-owned/led coffee farms, roasters, herbalists, and other suppliers and consultants.
We aim to set up partnerships with indigenous women-led organizations in food, climate, environment, and health & wellness to receive a donated portion of Stitchworks sales proceeds throughout the year.
Throughout current small-batch production, we compost or repurpose all single-use materials from plant grounds to brewing filters.
Following our beta launch, our packaging will provide recyclable and compostable options, with fully circular and zero-waste operations as part of our north star.
