TerraSource Gourmet Chocolates

Can we think global and act local? Absolutely! TerraSource Gourmet Chocolates strengthens the local economy by identifying and working with local growers of organic fruits and edible flowers and converting these healthy ingredients into delightful chocolates for your enjoyment. We use local financial institutions, graphic design, accounting and services. Most of our chocolate is fair trade certified from Peru, Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic. The remainder is fairly traded (but not certified) from Columbia. For those ingredients we can’t find locally, fair trade helps global partners improve their quality of life.

Jolie Vue Farms

We credit modern agriculture for having produced an apparent cheap and abundant food supply, but it comes with many hidden costs – pollution of our soil and waterways, tax dollars for subsidization of crops grown only for livestock consumption, and nutritional deficiencies for our population which ave led to poorer, not better, health and higher medical costs to treat those deficiencies. So, is it really cheaper? Why not get back to nature? She is best equipped to address your health and the health of your environment.

Jolie Vue Farms rejects modern concepts of artificial fertilization of the soil and the pesticides destruction of nature’s “unwanted weeds and insects.” Creatures will thrive when they are freed from confinement and left to free range on healthy soil, fresh air and sunshine. And you will thrive when you eat a balanced diet of clean, healthy food. Artificial chemicals and pharmaceuticals are anathema to truly healthy critters and humankind, so…our farm doesn’t do chemicals, and our creatures don’t do drugs!
