Dear Annie,
I am such a fan of you and your wonderful books! I do have a question for you….in the Clean & Green book, you suggest the Auro Organics brand of boiled linseed oil for some of the recipes in the book. I have had a difficult time getting in contact with this company, so I “goodsearched” “raw petroleum free linseed oil” and found the following product/link. I am hoping to find out if you are familiar with this brand, and if it would be a good choice…..or if there are any other brands you could recommend. This site Solvent Free Paintoffers the raw & boiled lineed oil.
Thank you for the good work you do & for your time!

Dear Christy,
Wowza, I am so excited about that site! Thank you *SO* much for the reference. The site is fascinating, such as that their paint is “zero waste” and that organic linseed oil actually gets better over time. They write, “In old time painter manuals you could find recommendations for the painters to store the cold pressed linseed oil for 2 years before it was made into paint. Linseed oil is basically like fine wine, it gets better over time.” I personally adore the nutty smell of linseed oil soap, which they also offer. I am really grateful for the information about this product line. I am going to try their linseed oil exterior paint. Thank you! The company seem to search the world for manufacturers of old-time, chemical free formulas that work.
