Holiday season is definitely a great time to support small businesses, although I do my best to support small and conscious brands 365 days a year. I especially pay close attention when it comes to the foods and drinks I consume. Supporting likeminded, conscious food brands with solid people standing behind these brands is really important to me -- and I hope it's important to you, too. Below is a list of brands that stay stocked in my house!
