Daneson toothpicks was founded and is owned and operated by Peter Smith. The name Daneson is a play on the two maternal names in his family - the regal Ca from San Francisco on his fathers side and granma Elsie from Denmark, by way of Wisconsin, on my mothers side. Both women influenced him and deserved a tip of the hat.
Daneson is fiercely independent. Our mantra is: 'It is better to sleep well than it is to eat well.' And with this in mind we keep it honest:
- All of our suppliers, barring Scotch from Islay and corks from Portugal, are either American or Canadian.
-
We're based, weather permitting, out ofGeorgian Bay on Lake Huron in Canada.
-
Daneson is committed to protecting the world in which we live in. For every one tree we use,we plant one hundred treeswith a priority towards non-harvest regions. Give more than you take. It’s that simple.
- In simple terms, if one acre of forest goes into Daneson then, at the very least, one acre comes out of Daneson in forest preservation.
A toothpick is more than just a toothpick. With the right recipe a Daneson can bring back memories, relax the mind, complete a meal or distinguish a character.
