Planning a romantic day this Valentines? Yes? No? Well, just in case, here is our lovely green Valentine guide for the upcoming holiday:
- Love Notes: Give your sweets a personalized note that you craft yourself or share the love with virtual notes like WWF E-cards and Nature Conservancy Valentine E-cards.
- Blooms: Organic Bouquet has wonderful ways to give fresh flowers and help charity at the same time, and Local Harvest is another favorite flower source of ours that always brings the freshness of the flower-farm into your home.

I am simply swooning over these Lavender truffles created by Sjaak’s Organic Chocolates, a company with a goal to produce the highest quality gourmet fair trade and organic chocolates.
Their cocoa is almost all grown on small family farms. Sjaak staes:
- 70% world’s supply comes from West Africa
- abusive and child labor is being eliminated on the farms
- Ivory Coast, Ghana, Nigeria and Cameroon are countries that have the most family farms
- Sustainable cocoa farming that combines good farming methods with good economic practices is increasing…
- Biodiversity is common by planting shade trees that also provide useful products for the farmer
I thought lavender infused
