Goodies
Did you know that our fair trade chocolate and coffee are good for the environment as well as for the humans who produce them?
Fair Trade fosters self-reliance in small-scale cocoa and coffee farmers, which effectively raises their living standards. Practices include:
- Guaranteeing consistent and equitable prices to farmers despite the volatile cocoa and coffee markets.
- Improving social conditions in producers' communities by enabling them to afford basic health care and education.
- Ensuring no forced child labor.
- Promoting sustainable, shade-grown, organic farming techniques that safeguard both the environment and the livelihood of the producers.
- Helping to establish and support farmer-owned, democratic cooperatives.

Zebra Baking Mixes
From the Zebra Mix folks, who make a great product for phenomenal reasons:
As parents, we are continually looking for ways to let our kids learn through exploration. We try to tap into their curiosity and provide experiences around their interests. Experiences that build confidence, support risk taking and are easy for us, time strapped parents, to pull off.
Like most kids, our girls love to bake, but somehow having sugar and flour on hand and dealing with the mess was more than a working mom could handle. And traditional baking mixes just didn’t offer the learning we were after and they were full of evil ingredients.
So, we began cooking up Zebra Mix, baking kits that let kids be the hero in the kitchen without turning it into a zoo for parents.
We quickly realized that baking was a touch point for math, science and reading and an opportunity to teach important life skills, critical thinking and exercise creativity. After all, when does a child get to manage an entire project from start to finish!
To make it fun, easy and reduce the mess, we created a large fold-out Safari Baking Map for each baking kit. Each map has two levels of learning and easy to follow step by step illustrated instructions with word games, math and science challenges and much more. So along with baking, kids may just find a new way to look at time, learn how to read a scientific formula or create a pretzel that looks like an Alexander Calder sculpture.
We love what kids discover in themselves: self confidence, independence and the pride of accomplishment all while they are Stirring Up Fun!®
We are committed to building healthy kids both inside and out. That’s why we’ve given preservatives and artificial ingredients a time out. Using only organic and natural ingredients, we have worked hard to make Zebra Mix the best tasting cookie, cupcake and brownie in the universe ( and we think you will agree they taste amazing)!
Sustainability must be at the forefront of all companies and we remain committed to using recycled materials, supporting organic farming and educating kids about protecting our environment. We are continually looking for new technologies, and ideas to reduce our impact on the environment and are committed to producing Zebra Mix domestically.
