Maggie's Functional Organics, is the company that boasts the first domestic certified organic wool socks. They are part of the recently announced Organic Wool Network. The wool comes sheep raised in two areas: a vineyard in Northern California called Larocca Vineyards, and a Rangeland in the Western U.S. The sheep graze on organic pastures and are being raised without the use of chemicals of any kind (including hormones, antibiotics, and parasiticides). The socks are not carbonized or chemically shrunk. Maggie's sells them for about $16 per pair, but other stores seem to sell the for much less. :: Maggie Functional Organics
