As a fair trade company, Goose Grease was born in 2011 and ever since has been expanding in unexpected directions. Soon after painting wooden dolls for children, Goose Grease branched out to produce THE ORIGINAL custom wedding cake toppers and custom painted families. Selling unpainted supplies just seemed to be the next logical step, putting together DIY supplies of all kinds. Goose Grease's Artistic Director is Anna Leigh Donado who, along with her husband Juan Carlos Donado, is committed to growing this purpose driven company.

Goose Grease’s vision has always been to provide the highest quality, most personalized service. We are happy to have established a fair trade relationship with a small carpenter in Bogotá, Colombia that makes our doll bodies. We use the help of local artisans, who we train and employ, to paint our standard designs. We hope to continue this tradition of seeking out wood-worked items from fair trade, artisanal, and sustainable sources.
