A little more about East Fork
We're proud to be a Certified B Corporation, a distinction that speaks to our accomplishments in making business decisions that speak to our values, but more importantly, holds us accountable to the work that lies ahead in terms of working for the betterment of our employees, customers, suppliers, communities, and the environment.
We partner with local non-profit, grassroots organizations and individuals working toward racial equity, community reconciliation, and supporting the liberation of folks who’ve been systematically oppressed by white supremacy, patriarchy, and heteronormativity.
We describe their work in our newsletters and on our social media platforms to raise awareness and invite customers to support our Community Partners by learning more, volunteering, or making a donation. We also offer customers early access tickets to Seconds Pop-ups, with 100% of the proceeds going directly to our Community Partners.
From our factory and headquarters to our warehouse and retail stores in Asheville and Atlanta, the East Fork workforce is made up of 100+ employees. When it comes to wages, everyone here makes at least $22 an hour and we have plans to raise this minimum wage again to what MIT has calculated as a family living wage here in Buncombe County, North Carolina.
East Fork began as one potter, then two, then a few more, throwing clay and filling a wood-fired kiln on an old tobacco farm in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. Before we had stores and a website, we had pottery sales on the farm. Much has changed in the last decade, but our early days laid the foundation for the company we are today.
Among the people who make up Team East Fork, you'll find those who work in clay, engineering, chemistry, logistics, creative and the fine art of making customers happy.
