The Little Seed, a children’s specialty boutique carrying eco-friendly and organic products, opens its doors in the hip, urban enclave of Larchmont Village at 219 Larchmont Blvd.  Co-founded by new mothers Soleil Moon Frye and Paige Goldberg Tolmach, the goal was to create a one-stop shop for parents seeking products from skincare to bedding to toys that are made with organic or eco-friendly materials – healthy for babies and healthy for the planet… because it’s never too early to sow the seeds of care and responsibility.
 
“After spending months on the web researching and buying non-toxic and organic products that wouldn’t irritate our babies’ skin, we realized that the search to find these items was shockingly difficult” says Paige Goldberg Tolmach, who also co-founded Swoon Candles.   Adds Soleil Moon Frye, actor/writer/director: “ We wanted to create a physical space – and an accompanying website – where parents had the option to purchase stylish organic and eco products exclusively.” 
 
Apart from its beautiful, spacious retail area measuring over 2,200 square feet, The Little Seed will also provide a diaper changing station, a discreet nursing lounge as well as an arts & crafts area for the littlest shoppers.  Because The Little Seed is committed to providing parents with succinct information on improving the health of their children and the planet, they will also offer creative classes for kids and educational seminars for parents.  And since the education starts here, the entire store environment will be safe and non-toxic – from the no V.O.C. paint on the walls to the recycled shopping bags.
