Making Change with Jack Johnson
Apr 18th
Holy Cow is a proud member of the Jack Johnson All At Once Community.
The community makes it easier for us all to make positive change and take action towards a healthier planet. Jack Johnson has been visionary in green thinking in everything from his bio-diesel tour travel to charitable commitment with 1% for the planet. Here are a few other uncommonly green leadership actions from Jack:
- Co2 Offset & Climate-Neutral Certification. When buying a concert ticket online you can select a Co2 offset to neutralize your travel impact.
- Organic Tour Merchandise. Tour shirts are made with 100% organic cotton. Tour posters and CD packaging are also printed on 100% post-consumer waste recycled paper.
- Environmental Donation. All donations made by fans to the All At Once partner nonprofit organizations online or at Jack’s concerts are matched by his new charity.
Thanks to Jack for his passionate commitment to positive environmental impact. Check out the community and join us at AllAtOnce.org. We look forward to making change together.
Justin
Our Neighborhood
Apr 13th
Where do the beautiful Holy Cow designs come from? We are proudly located in Saint Louis Park, MN. Our office is located in the beautiful Excelsior & Grand complex, right in the heart of the city.
Below building embraces our office. The same building was featured in an article on The Consumerist here.
When the weather is nice, we love to work in the adjacent Wolfe Park:
Or sit by the pool in the main building of E&G; there’s also a Starbucks and Panera Break where we refuel:
So stop by the neighborhood, perhaps you’ll see some of us walking around in holy cow logo tees!

Holy Cow Grew!
Apr 7th
Hello there, my name is Ray and I’m the new numbers guy at Holy Cow Company. I helped the founder, Justin, with creating the vision of our brand when the logo was only a sketch in his Moleskin. I recently decided to officially come on board to assist Justin in making the company financially and operationally sound. I’ve worked in various industries: retail, food, investment banking, management consulting, etc. I’m a graduate of Warrington College of Business at University of Florida (Go Gators!).
What this means for you:
We are in business because we want to design and produce products that are healthier for you while leaving as little environmental impact as possible. The only way to fulfill our dream is to run as a successful business. By managing an efficient supply chain and retaining our earnings to invest in green initiatives, I can help Holy Cow to deliver better products and you to save the environment.

Organic Cotton Booming
Apr 6th
A recent report from the Organic Exchange shows organic cotton retail sales are booming. In 2006 retail sales of organic cotton products reached $1.1 billion globally, an 85% rise from 2005 numbers. There is a similar spike in 2007 with global organic cotton sales reaching nearly $2.0 billion, up 83% from 2006. That’s a lot of cotton. Holy Cow has heard you loud and clear and we’re excited to share our great new line this Spring.
