About Apple Park & Organic Farm Buddies
### Introducing Apple Park Kids
We are proud to feature **Apple Park Kids**, a woman-founded brand dedicated to creating beautiful, safe, and sustainable products for babies and young children. Founded in San Francisco by Angie Ting, a mother from a family of experienced toy makers, Apple Park was born from her desire to find baby products that were not only adorable and high quality, but also environmentally responsible. When she couldn't find products that met her standards, she created her own.
Apple Park believes that every choice we make today shapes the future of our children and our planet. That's why every toy, doll, blanket, and piece of clothing is thoughtfully designed using natural, renewable, and recycled materials that are gentle on babies and kinder to the environment. Their mission is simple: create products that are **safe for children, better for the Earth, and made to last**.
Sustainability is at the heart of every Apple Park product. The brand uses **100% certified organic cotton** that meets the rigorous **Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS)** or **Organic Content Standard (OCS)**, ensuring the fabrics are grown without GMOs, synthetic pesticides, or harmful chemicals. Their plush toys are filled with **Corn-PLA fiber**, a renewable, plant-based material made from cornstarch that is naturally hypoallergenic, biodegradable, and requires significantly less energy to produce than petroleum-based fillings.
Safety is just as important as sustainability. Apple Park uses **low-impact, GOTS-certified dyes** that are free from allergenic, carcinogenic, and toxic chemicals. Their wooden teethers are crafted from natural rubber wood instead of plastic, and every product is tested to meet strict U.S. and European toy safety standards. Parents can feel confident knowing their little ones are playing with products designed with both health and environmental responsibility in mind.
The company's commitment to sustainability extends beyond its products. Apple Park packages its items using **recycled paper** printed with **plant-based soy inks**, reducing waste while promoting renewable resources. Throughout its supply chain, the brand prioritizes materials and manufacturing practices that protect farmers, artisans, waterways, wildlife, and ecosystems for future generations.
By choosing Apple Park Kids, you're supporting a brand that proves children's products can be soft, beautiful, safe, and environmentally responsible. Their thoughtful use of organic materials, renewable resources, and non-toxic manufacturing helps families make choices that are healthier for their children—and for the planet they will inherit. 🌱🧸💚
