ethical. sustainable. woman-owned. gives back.
Together we are stronger.
Every Friday after school, a bag of nutrient-dense food is discreetly slipped into thousands of backpacks of children facing food insecurity in the Asheville area. And we owe it to our customers and their support of our mission to end child hunger. Thanks to their purchases, we’ve helped tens of thousands of hungry children receive free, healthy food to take home for the weekend.
Our story.
“I’ve learned that one of the truest ways to heal ourselves is through pure acts of kindness; not just for others, but for ourselves, too.” Fay Grant is a mother, activist and the founder of two sustainable give-back brands mini + meep and The Tote Project. Both of Fay’s brands are rooted in a desire to inspire positivity and give back meaningfully while also protecting the planet through sustainable and ethical manufacturing. Our founder recently shared her story with Darling Magazine.
Mama-owned and operated.
From where and how the cotton is grown, to the people who sew our one-of-a-kind products, we have gone above + beyond to support fair labor and ethical practices, protect the planet through local, sustainable manufacturing and give back to children in need.
