Store
What I offer in my store is a reflection of my lifestyle, one that is focused on planet friendly choices: invest in things that are useful, that last, that you love and that don’t harm the planet. In my store is an eclectic ever-evolving selection of favorites + one-of-a-kind finds and limited editions from my studio.

Jamestown Colony This was the first permanent English settlement in the Americas, established in 1607. This is the spot where Pocahontas exchanged marriage vows with John Rolfe in April 1614, at Jamestown, VA. Pocahontas was the daughter of Algonquian Chief Powhatan. Pocahontas died whilst in England in 1617 and Chief Powhatan in 1618. Under Powhatan’s successor, Opechankeno, the Algonquians became more and more angry about the colonists’ insatiable need for land and the pace of English settlement; meanwhile diseases brought from the Old World decimated the Native American population. Though the Powhatan people continued to mount a resistance, the Jamestown colony continued to grow stronger, and the new Chief, Necotowance, was forced to sign a peace treaty that ceded most of the Powhatans’ land and forced them to pay an annual tribute to the colonial governor. From this first settlement, “the policy has been to systematically displace Native people or force them to assimilate and eradicate Native cultures. Indigenous peoples’ resilience and strength has made an immeasurable positive impact on every aspect of American society.” #indigenouspeoplesday #respect #pride #wisdom - by priscillawoolworth 6 days ago

A Seed Story This is Methuselah, a 2,000-year-old date palm that sprouted from a seed found at Israel’s Masada in 1963. The seed was replanted in 2005 and sprouted, becoming the oldest seed in the world to germinate. Methuselah was confirmed as a male tree, meaning that a female would have to be pollinated to bear his fruit. Another saved ancient seed was sprouted and determined to be a female, named Hannah. In December 2020, in the midst of the global pandemic, an agricultural miracle took place and Hannah began to bear fruit. Pollen had been collected from Methuselah and brushed onto Hannah’s flowers, therefore producing 111 dates that were harvested from the oldest seeds in the world. The miracle of an ancient seed sprouting and producing a fresh harvest serves as a reminder of the enduring nature of life.

Tart choices are Cortland, Goldrush, Granny Smith and the sweet/tart choices are Cameo, Ginger Gold, Honey Crisp, Liberty and McIntosh. Apples are a rich source of polyphenols which are responsible for many of the fruits health benefits. Polyphenols are a source of antioxidants, which are vital to our health because they protect our cells from free radicals. #eatforhealth #apples #appleseason #organicapples #freeofpesticidesherbicidesandchemicalresidue Photo by Victoria Hely-Hutchinson - by priscillawoolworth 2 weeks ago

When Time magazine named me a new Green Pioneer in 2009, I had just launched my first online eco friendly general store in Los Angeles, and an online quarterly Almanac Newsletter about everything positive going on in the environment. I also authored the book LOLA Lots of Love Always, about how to live a sustainable lifestyle and make healthy choices that are good for you and the planet. Although targeted to young women, it ended up appealing to all age groups.
As my life and work evolved over the years, my dream was increasingly about living a simpler lifestyle closer to nature, hence my move to the Hudson Valley in Upstate New York, where I could still continue my work, have a much larger garden, woods to wander in and be the best steward I can be of the land I now call home.
Now, I have a new store: Priscilla-Woolworth-Store-Studio, which continues to reflect my lifestyle: acquiring things that are useful, made to last, and don’t harm the planet.
My “larger” garden became a mini organic farm, River’s Edge Farm, where I grow enough food that I am able to donate a portion to a food pantry called the Recovery Kitchen in Hudson, New York. I also sell wild foraged and grown produce to an organic community market in Philmont, New York.
The journey continues.
