Since 2006, Bambu Batu has offered a thoughtful and eclectic array of gifts, apparel, housewares and home décor items. In addition to bamboo products, they purchase from vendors that abide by the highest standards of ecologically responsible production and labor practices and strive to educate their patrons, helping them become more conscious consumers. One block off San Luis Obispo’s main shopping street, the owner, Fred Hornaday, is known by his signature “KALE: It’s what’s for dinner” bamboo T-shirt that he sells as part of a pay-it-forward program with proceeds going to defend gay marriage rights.
