The clay soil, from Portland Metro, and sand mix, from the Columbia River, come in one bag, and the fine straw, from McMinville, comes in a second bag. The bags are reusable and recyclable. Natural oils and waxes to finish the floor come from a manufacturing company in Utah. The finished floor is hard and waterproof; giving like wood, massive like concrete, beautiful and unique like earth.
