Caroline and Michael Norris create their trademarked, ‘Magnetic Graffiti’ from their solar powered "corporate headquarters" - a converted barn on a former cattle ranch in California. The magnets are printed with non-toxic inks and dyes, and all magnet scrap is donated to schools.
The Mendocino farm from which Magnetic Graffiti is made has been mostly returned to a wildlife habitat. The Norris family hosts visitors and volunteers from around the world who come to learn more about sustainable living.
