No, not really. Uncle Zach s job is to get the word out that these products are available and are of high quality and at reasonable prices. In February 1999 I was determined to do something for the environment that allowed me to interact with people. I began adding products made of organic cotton and hemp. Today Uncle Zach's has 73 or so items, a web page catalog and an upcoming retail warehouse store.
Most organic cotton is grown in Texas and California, and some in North Carolina.
Organic cotton is also grown in South America and Egypt. Similar to organic foods, organic cotton is grown without pesticides and herbicides, leaving the workers, the land and the water in better health. At one time these fabrics shrank 7 percent but due to the blending of cotton from different regions of the world, shrinkage is down to about 3 percent today. Just like any other cotton, follow the instructions on the label. With most cotton it is recommended that you wash in cold or warm water.
