Juniperseed Mercantile is home of savvy, sustainable living. It is owned and operated by Tiffany Norton with a storefront located at 5641 South Nevada Street and a warehouse on Arapahoe Road. Tiffany focuses on creating quality products while maintaining ethical and sustainable practices. Tiffany began her career in personal care and affordable home products by distributing and selling products through Etsy. She quickly outgrew this platform and jumped on the opportunity to locate in Littleton.

This company demonstrates the economic and social impact of lean manufacturing by creating products as needed to maximize the value for her customers and minimize waste. This process allows for fresher products, lower overhead costs, and less errors in production. Tiffany is currently working with the University of Montana to create a case study for her business that highlights the benefits of lean and micro-scale manufacturing.

Above all else, Juniperseed Mercantile’s core values align with sustainable practices. This company attempts to cut back on as much packaging as possible by providing discounts to those who choose to take advantage of the bulk refill bar by refilling their own bottles and jars. Using all natural ingredients, minimal amounts of plastic, and creating a low carbon impact are top priorities in their pursuit of being environmentally conscious.

Juniperseed Mercantile will be hosting an Earth Day Patio Party on April 22nd to celebrate Earth Day. The event will take place at 5641 South Nevada Street and will consist of:

  • Live Music
  • Neighborhood Clean Up
  • Free Workshops
  • Hourly Discounts
  • Plastic-free Goodie Bags
  • Prize Wheel
  • 50% Off Refills All Day
  • Recycling Drive
  • Vegan Food Truck

Juniperseed Mercantile will host four free workshops throughout the day, and a make, mend and mingle party in the afternoon through early evening. All are welcome and encouraged to bring a project they want to work on. Several vendors throughout the downtown area will be highlighting their handmade processes, making things for visitors, and providing tools/help.
