Even the bamboo is organically grown.

For those who aren't familiar though, bamboo boards are typically much smaller then the wood ones you can get. Apparently, bamboo boards bigger then roughly 12"x24" have issues with warping. That's a problem if you're doing a lot of choping and/or have a large (9.5"+) Chef's Knife.
