The Holidays have come and gone and here at International Organics we couldn’t be more grateful for your continued support! If, for any reason, we did not fully meet your expectations in 2009, our sincerest apologies! We will continue to work hard to improve our service and products. As the new year brings a time to reflect, it also brings a time to move forward and we welcome this new year with great anticipation for the road ahead! We will soon be “trimming down” our website and product line to focus and centralize on our Conuco Reserve cocoa, as well as adding some other great cocoa products! We will be focusing our attention on the staple of our business and continue to bring you the superior cocoa you have come to expect.  International Organics remains firm on our Fair Trade policies, and we will only deliver you products from Farmers who treat their workers and the environment with respect - It is our promise to you. Thank you again and don’t forget if you like the social networking scene please follow us on Twitter and Facebook!

We hope this new year bring you peace and happiness in everything you do! We look forward to serving you in 2010!

Peace and love,

Annemarie & the team at International Organics.

It’s official… fall is upon us. For me, living in the mountains of Colorado, that means watching a valley of aspens surrender the green of summer to gorgeous shades of gold. This year brought September snow. It is the time of year leaves fall to lay seed for the spring. The Earth drops into a quieter cycle. The days and nights share equal hours. Animals finish gathering in preparation for the winter.

We, too, naturally find ourselves preparing for the change of seasons. We dig out comfy sweaters, cherish those first days of socks and boots, wonder where the heck we hid our beanies. Our bodies begin to crave the foods of the season, warm soups and stews, root vegetables that thrive in these conditions, sweet potatoes, hearty greens and heirloom squash.

We instinctively want to slow down, close in a bit. Start the day with a steaming bowl of oatmeal, drink tea wrapped in blankets, bake cookies. To some it may seem decadent, or even lazy, but I say it is delicious nourishment! Bake those cookies! Snuggle on the couch under a blanket and read the book you’ve been meaning to. Gather and store your energy for the winter ahead, no matter what climate you find yourself in.

International Organics would like to help with your journey to cozy comfort with any of our Sonoma Syrups and Agave Nectars. Our quest for pure, organic nourishment can still be sweet. Try these hand crafted, family owned products to sweeten your oatmeals, teas, coffees and your baking adventure!

Happy Friday!
