The holiday season is upon which means good ‘ole American consumerism has swung into high gear. Your inbox is likely already brimming with Black Friday and Cyber Monday discounts, right? (yes, yes we’re complicit in this) However, holiday shopping doesn’t have to mean feeding the big corporations’ profit margins. No, you can always shop consciously and eco-friendly by supporting small, local establishments or locally made products.

In fact, that is what Small Business Saturday is all about. Rather than settling for big box retail it encourages holiday shoppers to buy from brick and mortar businesses that are actually present in the neighborhoods in which they operate.

As a small, B Corp Certified business, Small Axe Peppers is not just trying to sell hot sauce, we are trying to revitalize neighbors, transform the way you eat, and bring community together. From Fair Trade to B Corp to environmentally-sustainable products, this list will help you shop consciously this holiday season.
