About the Member:

Harlowe Green is a sustainable living store and bulk refillery that is located in Frontenac, Ontario. Thoughtfully selected products are available in bulk refill or reusable mason jars. Harlowe Green grew out of the need for access to low waste living goods and refill items in a rural area. Refillery and sustainable living goods are now delivered to doorsteps within the Kingston region and the Quinte region every week, and our number of small business partnerships that offer order pick-up and our goods across regional rural communities is growing.

While there is a desire by so many good people out there to 'do better,' it can be tough to know what to do and where to start. Follow along with our blog or social media for little ideas of how to make changes for you and your family, and we can figure this out together. Orders can be placed through the website harlowegreen.com
