The New Issue of 'we' is Here!
Just in time for Earth day and a fresh spring awakening, we are thrilled to bring you the spring-summer 2010 issue of we, the Weleda lifestyle magazine. On the cover is our “you could be we” cover model contest winner, Brighid Kennedy. She was chosen from almost 100 entries, and the decision was not an easy one! Back in December, we asked you—our readers— to submit a photo and 150 words showing and telling us why you should be the face of “we.” Our email box quickly filled with the most inspiring and beautiful photos and words. You made us laugh. You brought us to tears. You lit up our faces with smiles. In the end, we had to pick just one, but in our...

Guest blogger: Weleda model Juliette Branker
You may have seen Juliette Branker in the advertisements for our Pomegranate Regenerating Body Care, and on our posters and brochures. In this guest blog, she shares her story about her life-changing experience modeling for Weleda and how she felt when she happened across her picture at Whole Foods in Manhattan! I am the lucky woman who was chosen to be  the face of Weleda’s Pomegranate Regenerating Body Care. My name is Juliette Branker, and I am 53 years young.

Farmers at Heart
Happy Earth Month! At Weleda, we’re celebrating with beautiful products from beautiful earth. Take Skin Food, for instance. Five of the core plants in this intensely nourishing cream—sunflower, chamomile, pansy, rosemary and calendula (pictured)—are grown organically. Why? Because we think that amazing products begin with amazing soil. Because life nurtures life.  Because it’s the right thing to do. Because we care about you, and about the planet, too.  Weleda continually invests time, money and knowledge into building long-term, sustainable projects with our farmers and partners. Our responsible sourcing of resources and careful cultivation of plants...

Signs of Spring in our Gardens
Old man winter just won’t give up here! Just when we thought he was gone for good, he returned again. For nearly a week, we had sun and our ducks were running all over the garden, having fun and looking for something to eat. Then it snowed and we had to put them back in the greenhouse—at least for now, until it warms up again. In the Customer Center at Weleda Naturals, in Wetzgau, Germany, the telephone is ringing off the hook—a sure sign that spring is on the way. We are now booking sightseeing appointments for a special “Well-Being Tour” that we are offering in April, for groups of about 12 people each. Our guides take each group on a tour of our...

Retailer Spotlight - The Big Carrot in Toronto
With 50 owners and 200 employees, The Big Carrot in Toronto is one of the largest worker-owned co-ops in all of Canada. It’s grown quite a lot since it was founded in 1983, with just 12 members. Today, one of the store's greatest strengths is the accumulated knowledge and experience of its members and staff. The store maintains exacting standards, which have evolved through its 25 years of searching for nature’s finest—in both food and personal care. The Big Carrot stocks almost all of Weleda's skin and body care products, and they sell more of our products than any other store in all of Canada! The employees are well-versed in Weleda and can...
