I need help fnding homemade products/businesses by DADS!!!

I am starting new features in my blog (http://green-mom.blogspot.com/). the bloging week is being started off with Mama Made Mondays and ended with Father Fashioned Fridays. The idea is to highlight homemade businesses (which we all know are usually much greener in principal and practice them mass produced and conventional products)

 

Being on cafemom and other mom based communities makes it easy for me to find businesses to feature for Mama Made Mondays, but I am totally at a loss for Father Fashioned Fridays. I need help! If you know any business or dad that fits this category let me know here please!!! or you/they can email me at calynl@gmail.com

 

thank you so much in advance!

Hm...I'll have to think a little bit about this one, but I know YummyEarth was founded by two dads!  This comes from their website:

 

We're the two daddies that invented YummyEarth organic lollipops and organic candy drops.  As big-time lollipop fans and new dads, who met through our college roommate wives, we wanted to share treats with our children with no chemical colors, artificial flavors, corn syrup or anything we wouldn't be proud to cook with at home for our families.

Have you poked around Etsy at all?  I just came across one person's store called Dads Wooden Toys.  It looks like it's run by a dad (Joshua VanderKlok) who hand makes wooden toys (natural, non-toxic, without chemical paints) that are in animal shapes.

 

 

I have not went through etsy yet, but that's a great idea. I did post in the etsy forum, but for some reason didn't even think about searching through the stores. the way I have found the feature dads we have so far is actually by going through the hyenacart stores, which was.... fun ;-) thanks so much christina! I'll check out dads wooden toys now!

 

thanks, I will get a hold of them and see if they want to be featured!  Stins!

Be interesting to see some scientific support for the products - testimonials are meaningless - can be too easily made up. 

I've never ran into yet one of these companies whose ingredients were really green or organic. I'm also turned off by the promotional misrepresentation their reps use in forums like these (such as can be read below) in responce to posters that aren't asking to be spammed, especially when they are particularly off topic.  

 

I really don't have a link to it, 'cause i saw it on TV some long time ago, but this is really amazing story and product.
It's a guy who found out that 10% of the children in the developed countries suffer celiac disease and are allergic to any products with gluten.
Play-dough is made of bread and food dyes, of course. So this guy found a new way to make a play-dough without gluten.
