Our Mission
The mission of I'm Organic™ is to spread the organic message. Through our products and through our projects, we at I'm Organic™ are passionate about organic living and giving people fun and easy ways to say, "I'm Organic, are you?"
Though no one can be 100% organic all of the time, we believe every small choice makes a big difference. It's an exciting time to be green and choosing organic plays a critical part in creating health and reducing our impact on the planet. The next step is to share the message and start conversations about why living organically is a great choice for our bodies and the Earth. The green movement, including the organic movement, is an incredible 'word-of-mouth' campaign, empowered by your voice. Our mission is to give you more eco-friendly ways to say what's on your mind- because the world is listening!
As part of the cycle of abundance choosing organic creates, we gift a portion of all profits to organizations with sustainable education programs and who help people get their hands back in the dirt. In addition, we have some exciting projects going on to connect you with the companies and programs you value. Read more below…

Did you know it takes about a third of a pound of synthetic agricultural chemicals to grow enough cotton for one T-shirt? What impact do all of those chemicals have on our health, farm worker’s health, our soils, and our water sources that must accept the toxic runoff? Science may be slow to offer us absolute answers, but sometimes common sense and wisdom must be used. At I’m Organic™, we are proud to offer you products that were created with your values at the heart of our mission. From our 100% certified organic cotton clothing line, tote bags, and lunch bags to our 100% post consumer waste recycled greeting card line, you’ll find the only sweat that was used in creating these products came from our brow to create for you the best, cleanest products available.

I'm Organic, Inc. was founded in 2006 by mother-daughter team Judy Pezdir and Jill Palermo. Judy and Jill are both artists and entrepreneurs. They’re excited to have created an opportunity to bring all of their passions together in a business that is an expression of what they value. Jill first learned about living organically in 2002, when she spent the summer in an eco-village in the mountains of Oregon. There, she learned to grow organic produce and flowers, take care of llamas, and live in harmony with the land. Jill couldn’t have anticipated the sheer joy of experiencing where food comes from and what it feels like to live in a relatively toxin-free environment. Judy had been gradually taking additives and chemicals out of her lifestyle for years, and experienced drastic health improvements at the same time. Each in their own ways, Jill and Judy felt a passion for sharing with friends and family a lifestyle that was better for them and better for the planet. It was only natural that I’m Organic, Inc. was founded along the way.
