When it comes to making eco-conscious decisions about producing products, there are many benefits to finding ingredients straight from the soil. Natural ingredients from the garden can be beneficial for your health, but also for the environment.

Jabebo is a company owned by Kevin and Mary Abbott in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania with a unique medium for creating earrings. Starting back in the 1990’s, they began playing around with the idea of mismatched earrings with colorful images. It didn’t take long until they landed on the use of cereal box paperboard as the obvious choice since they were creating the earrings with paper. The inspiration for the business is biodiversity and the natural habitat and community that supports it, particularly through public lands where you and your family and friends can experience it.
