When I gave samples out at the Stonyfield Farm Entrepreneur Institute recently, I had a steady stream of people approaching him to praise the fudge. One person commenting, "It gave me a chocolate experience I haven't had since I was a kid." Since it was our first full batch of organic fudge, I kept asking for any way we could improve it, but nobody came up with anything! They loved it, and we're sure you will too!
I recently finished reading "Stirring It Up" by Gary Hirshberg, the CE-Yo of Stonyfield Farm. There was a section in it that discussed taking a trip to South America to visit the organic banana plantations. On the way, he passed many non-organic farms and noticed children playing in waterways near the fields. His heart sank when he realized these children were playing in poisonous chemicals running off from the non-organic agricultural fields. It made him glad he was using organic ingredients and determined to support more organic agriculture. At the same time, there are stories of blind studies of how much healthier and better tasting organic food truly is.
Inspired by Stonyfield Farm, we set forward to slowly develop more all-natural and organic flavors of fudge.
In honor of Earth Day, if you order this flavor anytime before Mother's Day (May 10th) we'll donate 25% of your purchase to the Newfound Lake Region Association, a local environmental non-profit organization who is helping protect the Newfound region through conservation and preservation of the region's natural, social and economic resources.
For Earth Day and Mother's Day, buying organic fudge is the perfect way to make a positive impact on Mother Earth.
