Nice to meet you!
We're Bee+Col
Our shared passion for sustainability led us to launching Simple Alchemy Co together on August 1st, 2018. At the time, we were living and working in a 400 square foot apartment. Next we lived and worked out of 800 square feet in the forest. In February 2024, we moved to live in community with our chosen family (there are 7 of us humans, and one dog who's secretly a human too).
