Ingredients That Help Make a Difference
We're dedicated to sourcing the finest ingredients with care and responsibility. We exclusively use USDA organic ingredients and prioritize local suppliers whenever feasible, supporting our community and minimizing our environmental impact. We collaborate with local partners in Santa Cruz, CA ensuring a "farm to freezer" approach, capturing the peak of flavor and nutrition.
Direct Trade Organic Cocoa Powder from The Dominican Republic
We proudly source our cocoa powder from a pioneering worker co-op committed to fair and ethical trade practices. Operating with a transparent, democratic model that ensures a 5:1 pay ratio and equitable profit sharing, they stand firm against broader economic trends of inequality. Their cacao is grown by co-ops in the Dominican Republic. By organizing, farmers gain crucial market access and make collective decisions on how to invest in their communities. By using it in our Fudge popiscle, you'll enjoy the highest quality cocoa while supporting the empowerment and economic well-being of small farmers and their communities.
Organic Coffee from Mexico
Our trusted provider of premium organic coffee is made from chemical-free, non-GMO, Kosher dark roast Arabica coffee. This exceptional coffee delivers a bold, smooth flavor, ensuring each bite of our Latte popsicle is both delicious and crafted with the highest quality ingredients.
Organic Wildflower Honey from Brazil
The single origin responsibly sourced honey used in all of our organic popsicles originates from the biodiverse Atlantic Forest, ranging from the Araucaria Pine Trees in high altitudes to palm trees and mangroves in lower regions near the Iguaçu River. Our supplier is dedicated to organic beekeeping including placing apiaries in GMO-free, pesticide-free areas and leaving enough honey and pollen for the bees. They also prohibit harmful practices like hive destruction and chemical use, ensuring their honey reflects their commitment to bee and environmental health.
No Monkey Labor for Organic Coconut Milk, Water and Oil
We take pride in ensuring that all our coconut oil, coconut water, and coconut milk are sourced from suppliers committed to ethical practices, including the prohibition of monkey labor. Buying our popsicles means you can trust that you're not only enjoying high-quality coconut-based products but also supporting ethical and responsible sourcing practices that prioritize the well-being of both humans and animals.
Organic Adaptogenic Extracts
We're proud to source from the leading suppliers of mushroom products for over 40 years. Specializing in providing cultivated and wild mushroom extracts that undergo rigorous testing to ensure purity, potency, and unmatched quality. Our suppliers' dedication to sustainable sourcing and extraction methods ensures that every extract used in our handcrafted popsicles is not only beneficial for health but also environmentally responsible.
Reducing Waste with Home Compostable Packaging
Our frosty pops are lovingly wrapped in 100% home compostable packaging. They're made from wood-cellulose bioplastic that will decompose in about 12 weeks! While this decision adds a layer of sourcing adjustments and higher cost, we're dedicated to building a business that prioritizes long-term well-being over short-term profits. After all, a healthy community extends beyond just our bodies.
Powered By the Sun
Our commitment to responsible business practices shines bright. Our shared commercial kitchen is powered by solar panels, which help offset up to 50% of our electricity needs. By harnessing the sun’s energy, we can help reduce our carbon footprint and create our delicious popsicles in a more environmentally friendly way.
A Second Life for Boxes
Environmental responsibility isn't just a goal—it's our guiding principle. That's why we've partnered with a floss company in San Jose, CA to source our wholesale boxes. We've rescued them from the recycling bin, repurposing like-new boxes that would have otherwise been discarded. By giving these boxes a second life, we're actively reducing waste and minimizing our environmental impact.
