Swallowtail Hill

The Ethical Store

If you like to shop on-line, and ethically, now you can. We’ve searched the world to find products that we think you’ll like and that won’t hurt the planet. We have products for her, him, the kids and the baby as well as the home and garden.

We have spent a long time seeking out stuff from all over the world with the very simple proviso that it ticked the right boxes - it had to be from a verifiable sustainable source, recycled, fair trade, organic or a combination of all four. And we (and a hand picked panel of our closest friends) had to like it!

Our feeling was that shopping ethically ought to be a pleasure.

Our own business is also as ethical as we can make it. Our small farm is 40 acres of traditional wildflower meadow, ancient woodland, hedgerow old and new, ponds, reed beds and free-range livestock - including Geoff the cockerel, Sid the goat and Hilary the pig.

We are climate neutral as an operation, and we use climate neutral suppliers wherever we can. Where we can’t, we make sure they know we’d like them to take it seriously because we’ll move as soon as we find an alternative supplier who does. We do all the other stuff you would expect to reduce our climate footprint and to encourage sustainability. None of which means we disapprove of a decent lifestyle. Hence our shop. Ethical shopping for an ethical lifestyle but no hair shirts.
