Buying items that are organic and eco-friendly feels good as a shopper — but doing the research on the things we’re buying can be time-consuming. Satara Home and Baby has you covered by curating earth-friendly goods for baby and home, along with providing customers detailed information on why a particular product is ideal for the environment.
The store, which was founded in Madison in the mid-’90s, is known for carrying goods made with sustainable materials, such as cotton and bamboo bedding, latex mattresses, organic baby clothing, natural body care products and eco-friendly toys. Manager Dan Ely says supporting eco-conscious companies while giving customers high-quality, environmentally- sound options is their mission. “No one else around has the thoughtful commitment we do [to carry] natural and sustainable [items] — and that’s a big deal to customers,” says Ely. “As a store, we’re unique.”
