What to know about the Petty Butter Preorder (June 4th-13th)

AND WE BACK!

Petty Butter will be switching to a drop/ made-to-order model (think of Telfar). There will only be 1-2 products available at a time with a 4-6 week turnaround time.

Why? -
This is a lot more manageable for me as a small business. I am able to gauge demand for each product as I build out a new business plan. It is also easier to manage inventory. This insures that patrons are getting freshly made products from freshly ordered ingredients. And 4-6 weeks is a realistic turnaround time that accommodates for my labor, time, and capacity.

Lastly, Petty Butter prices are increasing. First and foremost, I have to value the amount of work I put into Petty Butter. On my own, I conceptualize, produce, ship, market, and make art for Petty Butter. I have to compensate myself for ALL the time I spend. Additionally as Petty Butter legitimizes, the price of production has increased as I factor in the costs of a shared kitchen rental, insurance, licenses, and more. In order to grow at reasonable pace and eventually hire help, I have to increase the price of Petty Butter. While I want to make an accessible product, I need to respect the quality and craft of the product I make.

Thank you to all the Petty Patrons for your support and your patience. Y'all are closer than ever to getting these butters back in your hands and on that beautiful skin!

Featured I² Vendor of the Day - Tristen • Resident Healer

"…Energy is our first language and influencing that in the best possible way has become the ultimate focus for me.

Though I am a St. Louis native, I have made Chicago my home for over 15 years. While sewing my patch in the q***r quilt, I have beared witness to all the transitions, hard growth, and miraculous triumphs. They have become a part of me and I them. In other words we family.

So now after going through the ultimate self evolution and spirit expansion, it’s on. Through touch and sound, I will heal my family, I will protect my family and advocate for the ones that need it the most, so we can all thrive."

Featured I² Vendor of the Day - Sweet Island

Sweet Island is the brainchild of Paige Liverpool, a gay, black, Chicago native with passion for cannabis. Finding inspiration and wellness within the cannabis community was easy, finding people, products and advertising within the community that they aligned with, was a challenge. Sweet Island is what happened when they took it into their own hands, creating prints, stickers, t-shirts and more that aligns with the young, colorful, & bold at heart. Sweet Island is just that, a sweet retreat from the ordinary.

In today’s edition of , we learn a little bit more about the history of sunflower oil, a key moisture-retaining ingredient in the Petty Butter “Face Mix”. Source: Making sunlight liquid – a brief history of sunflowers by Stephen Harris, University of Oxford for The Conversation.

Images Read: “Sunflowers are indigenous to North America. Native Americans domesticated sunflowers as early as 3000 BC for culinary, cosmetic, aesthetic, medicinal, and ceremonial purposes. The entirety of the plant can be utilized for multiple uses including food, dye, fiber, fuel, building material.

Through both selective cultivation and hybridization, today there are 70 varieties of sunflowers with differing characteristics such as seed color, hull thickness, stalk length, petal shape, + more. Sunflowers grown for oil production. have small, black, oil-rich seeds with thin hulls. Those grown for consumption types have large, striped, oil-poor seeds with thick hulls.”
