“It means everything,” said Amber Settle, owner of Mother Nurture which offers non-toxic home and body products. “We work really hard, and a lot of us don’t have the same resources as some of the bigger businesses do. Everything is made by me, and I’m just one person, so when someone comes and shops your products, it’s very gratifying. I made these products with my hands and a lot of time and effort was involved, so for someone else to enjoy it means a lot.”

Settle started her small business about two years ago. A stay-at-home mom, she started to really be conscious of the products she was using.
