Green Bean Sprouts

Having a baby changes everything! You and your baby can rest easy with the pure and simple organic cotton designs from Green Bean Baby. They offer a beautiful collection of baby clothing, accessories, bedding and hoodedtowels.
Green Bean Baby was launched in 2007, in response to a demand for quality, locally-made organic cotton products for babies and toddlers. Green Bean Baby designs are made from 100% certified organically grown cotton to address growing concerns about human health, the environment, and safe working conditions in the textile industry. Certified organic cotton means no pesticides or other harmful chemicals such as fire retardants, metal dyes, formaldehyde finishes, or chlorine bleach are used in the growing and manufacturing of the cotton. Pure and simple – they have the perfect eco-friendly gift for the little bean in your life.
