When the pandemic hit, and everyone needed masks, I slowly began teaching myself. I found that I really enjoy sewing. I am especially fond of sewing adorable baby items. Aprons and other items can be found in my array of handmade products.

Jennifer Jeremiah – The Conscious Cloth was founded in 2019 with a commitment to replace disposable and synthetically-made household items with ethically-made and sourced renewable fibers that can be reused again and again! Our head seamstress (that’s me, Jennifer!) sews each item in her home studio in Michigan, USA.
After owning and operating my own clothing line for almost a decade, I’ve learned the inner-workings of the textile community, including the devastating reality it can have on farmers and those in the production process. Without truly knowing the impact, many wear leggings made of plastic and wash their faces with the same allergen while companies conceal and market cheap, synthetic materials as beneficial. In a “fast” society that hides the truth about the reality of its products, we choose the “slow” method …and transparency. We don’t use microfibers (i.e. plastics!); we don’t use “athletic, wicking” materials (i.e. plastics!). We choose natural and sustainable fibers. We choose chemical-free organics. We choose health…and our bodies…and your bodies…and farmers’ bodies…and the earth’s body.
At THE CONSCIOUS CLOTH, we use fully organic and renewable fibers including certified organic cotton and hemp. Our cloths are biodegradable, reusable, washable; and every cloth is made with a specific purpose in mind. Everything from our cloths to our product cards (100% recycled materials) to our mailers (100% recycled, 100% recyclable, and 100% reusable) are handled with the utmost care.
We still own our clothing shop, Lifecycle Apparel (also on Etsy)!…and we’d love to connect with you in our likeminded conscious-living community!

During my young years growing up I always had the passion for cooking and being outdoors. I love being in the kitchen experimenting with different recipes to provide a dinner to my family.Being able to take those recipes out the grill/smoker brought a smile to my face, allowing me to enjoy the nice weather while doing what I enjoyed. My junior and senior year I took a culinary arts & hospitality program, my senior year in the program I was awarded the opportunity to the student manager of the Fresh and Furious Food truck.
I always spent my weekends growing up experimenting with different meats,rubs,marinades, and brines. Seeing the finished product after the number of hours preparing and smoking was awardful. After many years of working the same meats, I began wanting the feedback from a judge of how good my meat actaully was. I attended my first rib competition against professionals as well as rookies. I placed 8th out of 20 in my first compeition.
All meats will be prepared using a reverse flow, wood fed smoker. The reverse flow allows for the even heat around the meats to give you the nice clean smoke flavor your looking for. The smoke flavor is coming in with a mix of cherry and hickory wood.

All stock is open-propagated onsite, originating from legitimate sources or obtained through sanctioned rescue efforts. The majority of the species offered are Native Michigan; Black Cohosh an Ontario genus; multiple outstate Trillium species since I have never met a Trillium I did not like!
