Traceable Organic Clothing
Jan 23rd
Central to our mission at Holy Cow is a commitment to transparency.
This is one of the reasons we developed Holy Cow Product Tracking. Using a unique 9-digit tracking code, Holy Cow customers trace their product’s fabric to the farm field where the cotton was grown. Clicking on any of the steps of production reveals even more information about how the item was created. This is one of tools we use to share with you the Holy Cow creation story. What’s next? On Earth Day, April 22, we will take off for India to visit organic farmers in central and southern parts of the country. We will be creating short documentary films covering these farmers and their practices to promote the benefits of sustainable clothing and health benefits to our friends around the world. More to come on this so stay tuned.
Coming to a Whole Foods Near You

We have some exciting news to share. Holy Cow is partnering with Whole Foods Market stores in several midwest states. (Find a Holy Cow, Whole Foods location near you). Holy Cow traceable organic clothing, a first of its kind, will hit shelves the first week of February. We are thrilled to partner with Whole Foods, the premier shopping destination for organic and sustainable products. Creating this partnership allows us to share the benefits of sustainable clothing and the story behind the product with an even larger population, which is hugely exciting. Click here to preview some of the great products coming to Whole Foods next month.
Holy Cow Goes with the Wind
Jan 17th
I’m writing today to share a commitment our company has made and hopefully to encourage you to take the step as well. This year Holy Cow is offsetting all electricity used by our offices in Minnesota and Missouri with renewable energy credits from Renewable Choice Energy. The 6,000 kWh of wind energy credits purchased by Holy Cow is saving more than 8,000 lbs CO2 annually.
You can take the same action. Offset your home or encourage your business to offset their office space.
Wind energy offset by Holy Cow is coming from two local sources in Minnesota: Prairie Star Wind and Trimont Farm Wind. We will be visiting these farms this year and sharing their story so stay tuned.
