Favour Valley Woodworking is committed to low impact sustainable manufacturing practices
We at Favour Valley love the landscape and are inspired by the nature around us every day. Manufacturing a product, even on a tiny scale, does have environmental impacts. Our commitment is to minimize those impacts to the greatest extent possible. We gather as much of our raw materials as possible right here in Favour Valley, we source other materials such as lumber locally and use recycled paper wherever possible, and we avoid toxic products including conventional finishes. Our electricity comes from renewable sources as well. While we no longer have a waterwheel here in Oregon we are able to buy renewable energy, mostly from windmills, from the grid.
Beyond just the materials and processes we use we are committed to making products that can stand up to heavy usage over a long lifespan making them far more sustainable than mass produced alternatives.
