About Us

Our story begins on a 5th-generation family cotton farm in Lubbock County, Northwest Texas. Driven by a vision of sustainable farming, industry pioneer LaRhea Pepper transformed her family's farm into one of the country's first certified organic cotton farms in 1991. This marked the beginning of a quiet revolution in the cotton farming industry.

Despite this early progress, most organic fiber in the U.S. was being bought by large corporations and blended with conventional cotton, making it nearly impossible for small businesses and independent makers to source truly 100% organic cotton products. LaRhea's answer was Organic Cotton Plus, a sister company to the farm, founded with a simple, powerful goal: to make fully certified organic fabrics accessible to everyone.

Our First Home

From our original corner space at 88 Baldridge Street in O'Donnell, Texas, we began a focused process. We carefully set aside organic cotton bales, had them spun into durable, long-staple ring-spun yarn, woven into fabric, and finished with a natural scour wash. The result was a beautiful, 100% organic fabric, ready for the crafters and small businesses who had long been searching for it.

We've expanded our production both in the U.S. and overseas, growing our collection to include knits, eco-dyed fabrics using fiber-reactive dyes for better color-fastness, thoughtful notions like coconut buttons and colorful ribbons, and much more.
