saving one tree at a time and giving it a chance for new life.
Reducing Our Footprint
We don’t cut down trees, we save them from landfills. We exclusively use local trees that have already fallen due to storm damage or hazard. Once we identify a log to salvage, we manage the processing personally - from log to final product - to maximize use of the entire tree. This greatly reduces our impact and the footprint of our products.
Telling the Tree’s Story
We personally track each and every log that we save using GPS coordinates and the species of tree. Every Honest Roots product will come with a tag that identifies the tree that was used to make that product. You can pinpoint exactly where your tree lived its life on our map located on the “Your Tree” tab above.
Protecting People and Planet
Every item we make is rooted in an earth-friendly methodology because we believe in protecting both our planet and the people we love. This means we only use all-natural, food safe, earth-friendly oils, waxes, and finishes. We do not use stains or poly-based sealants. This commitment means all of our products are both food and family safe.
Our mission is to change the way you think about your kitchenware, one tree at a time.
Elegant design with
durability in mind
While we believe in our product durability, we know that some customers purchase an Honest Roots board with the intent to use it fully and passionately. With that in mind, Honest Roots offers a refinishing service for any of our products to bring them back to life. We would love to reclaim what we once crafted and give it a chance for new life.
