Before venturing into entrepreneurship, Josh and I were your typical consumers. We felt trapped in a world of single-use plastics, processed foods, and fast fashion.

The evidence on the dangers of plastics, pollution, and chemicals was becoming too much to ignore. With a growing family, we knew we needed to make changes, but we struggled to find convenient ways to do it.​We didn't want to accept living in a throwaway society and we didn't want our family to either. We started small-- using reusable bags, bringing our cups for coffee, and avoiding packaging, and, in doing so, we started to become healthier and happier in all aspects of life! It was a natural progression for us to create a place where our community had a non-judgmental and accessible store to mindfully fulfill everyday needs.​Larson's is located on Main Street in beautiful downtown La Crosse. Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by the fresh scent of locally made, package-free bar soaps, a smile, and feel-good tunes. You will find innovative and essential products for the whole family that are sustainably produced & packaged, free of harsh chemicals, fair-trade, cruelty-free, and give back in great ways to our local and global community. Josh and I are continually curating our collection of home, baby, and beauty goods that empower us to reduce waste. Show less
