Tools of the Trade: Barebones, with Bamboo Handles

Headquartered in Bluffdale, Utah, Barebones Living manufactures a collection of long-wearing garden tools with bamboo handles—and a social conscience.

In partnership with sister company Goal Zero (a solar power provider), Barebones Living provides disaster aid (and its camping tents) to earthquake survivors in Nepal and typhoon survivors in the Philippines.
