As part of its B Corp commitment, each year Country & Town House chooses one charity to throw the weight of its support behind. We look for charities that very much align with our mission around putting sustainability and regeneration first. Editorial director, Lucy Cleland, says, ‘I’ve admired what Arizona has been doing for the past few years and more, using her position of influence in the fashion industry to bring the conversation about its responsibility to people and planet front and centre. Her passion, knowledge and commitment are really inspiring, and we’re really excited to be working with her to promote DIRT Charity as much as we can.’
‘Country & Town House is my happy place,’ says Arizona. ‘ I turn this magazine’s pages and my mind is filled with intellectual stimulation, my heart is filled with beauty and the world is on a better track for a sustainable future. It is thought-provoking, intelligently written, beautifully designed, with regenerative thought leadership and sustainability at its core.’
DIRT is a UK charity working globally to turn fashion into a climate solution, starting with the soil. Fashion is grown in soil, and the way we currently grow our raw materials causes tremendous harm to soil, and is a catalyst for climate change. We could grow fashion crops such as wool, cotton, leather and linen in a way that heals soil and restores nature to full health and thriving biodiversity. Regenerating soil is both a long term solution and the fastest answer we have to climate change. The Biodynamic method of agriculture that DIRT Charity’s efforts support is a powerful nature based solution to farming and our goal is to get fashion’s sourcing power behind biodynamic soil regeneration globally. DIRT’s mission is to grow and process all fashion’s raw materials biodynamically. It’s a big mission as we need all the help we can get. Please donate if you can.
DIRT HAS THREE FUNDS FOR DONORS TO CHOOSE WHERE THEIR FUNDS WILL GO:
Donors who are businesses find great communication value by choosing to support a farm project. They receive heartwarming content to share with their communities as the supported project develops and completes.

For donors that have the planet at the core of their business practices, the charity has created the Earth Shop Earth Shop, a place where you can buy beautiful sustainable things, knowing that a percentage of their proceeds go to DIRT.
