Welcome to Indigo Forest
Indigo Forest nurtures your health & parenting with:
- Great hard-to-find products
- Practical, inspiring classes
- Professional consultations
We see our work as a three-legged stool; parents need all the support they can get, and all the legs of that stool need to be strong to provide you a truly sturdy base, that way you can do your very best job at the toughest, most relentless, wondrous and important work in the world - raising happy, healthy kids. So we don’t just sell hot products or offer the usual classes - we really want to share our love of health and learning, and help you to get the hard-to-find information that you need to make thoughtful health decisions, or to give you new coping tools & a good laugh during the long, dreary winter days of parenting (yes we love Michigan, but let’s get real). Community matters, and parenting is hard enough without being lonely too. Come visit us.

SANDBOX SEASON IS HERE!
Did you know that there are now warning labels posted on bags of sand for the sandbox reading, "Wash off skin, do not breath"? Isn't that the whole point of a sandbox, to really dig in (!) and not worry about pouring and playing?!
Most sand sold through consumer outlets is ground up quartz rock and consequently contains potentially dangerous quantities of crystalline silica, asbestos, and other contaminants that are dangerous to (young) lungs.
For the next two weeks only - June 5- 19 - We have a limited shipment of ~20 yards of naturally sourced, clean, safe play sand available for sale. Tested by a local lab, it does not contain asbestos, and like beach sand, brushes off without leaving the clothes dirty. This high quality sand is currently being sold at Toys-R-Us by the bag, at a total cost of $225/yard. Our prices vary by quantity, ranging from $8/5 gallon bucket to $85/cubic yard - Green Turtle special is $22! Bring pickups, trailers, buckets or bags to get your share -- - call Indigo Forest at (734) 994-8010 to reserve sand for your family and arrange for pick-up time. This week we have times still open on Friday and on Sunday. Further Information at www.safeplaysand.com.
