Crunchy Mamas
BabyCenter may earn a commission from shopping links.

West Virginia moms? anybody out there? There's barely any ladies around here that are into cloth diapering, Breastfeeding, babywearing, homemade crafts, EO's....etc. if you live in WV I think we should all join forces?

Also, we need a CD shop and some co-ops.

  • Hi, I live in SC right now and there aren't many crunchy mamas here either. I was lucky that we lived in Seattle till my DD was 2 and everyone there is crunchy!

    We drove across WV a couple months ago and it was one of the prettiest places I've ever been (but also very sad because of all the mining, etc...)

    It's so hard to be crunchy here. The grocery store has almost no organic produce. Now that it's summer, I can buy locally grown stuff but none of that's organic either :(

  • I was going to type this huge story but I'm just going to PAN you lol!
  • Are you any place close to Morgantown, Wheeling, Charleston or Martinsburg? Those areas are crunchier. I'm originally from WV.

    One possible resource is the group Mountain State Arts and Crafts festivals. My father was an artist and mother was a musician and we bascially grew up attending these festivals and fairs. Lots of crunchy people, items, etc there.

    Have you looked on for your area to see what organic places pop up. Also if you have Kroger's in your area they many times have a nice organic section.

    How about They might have some like minded moms in your vicinity.

    The WVU Extension Service might be a place to contact in your county to see if they have any information on some of the topics which you have interest.

    There's one healthy/organic store that I frequent. It's tiny and super duper expensive. Our farmers market basically has flowers and one stand that sells herbs. On the inside there's a couple stores that have local stuff and the rest is just stuff you could get at the supermarket. Except it cost upwards of two dollars more. As for meetup all they have is a dues paying mom group, and some agnostic group. I did attend the LLL group for the first time the other day though and those ladies seemed pretty interesting. I used to go to a lot if festivals. I know a lot of the local scene but haven't really met anyone that I really clicked with. It's usually just a casual "hey haven't seen you, how're you doin? Awesome, see ya around".
  • I know this is a 2 year old post, but I'm wondering if you're still following it and still in WV. From your description, I'm certain we're in the same town and I'm looking for a crunchie mamma friend/group!
  • Just pass her a note, this post is no longer active, thanks.
