Robin's Chocolate Sauce
"People enjoy sending delicious gifts that reflect their desire for a more sustainable world and we're proud to help," says Jeff Deasy, the company's founder and president.
Robin's Chocolate Sauce is handcrafted in northern Maine from a family recipe using only the finest ingredients. Mark and Robin Jenkins combine pure organic cocoa, organic cane sugar and organic vanilla with local farm-fresh dairy ingredients to create a dessert topping that is simple and sophisticated, exotic and homemade. No artificial ingredients, just pure decadent goodness.
Awareness of global environmental issues is at the heart of the family's business. With every purchase of Robin's Chocolate Sauces, you're supporting the mission of the National Wildlife Federation to inspire Americans to protect wildlife.
Aaron Baum brought Hand To Mouth Edibles to market in 1997 with all natural, gourmet tapenades and spreads that the professional and the home cook alike can enjoy. They're a vegetarian appetizer in a jar, a distinctive condiment to spice up a meal, or a special addition to a gift or picnic basket.
Aaron and his team believe in giving something back to the community, so a portion of thei profits are donated to Share Our Strength, a national non-profit organization working to alleviate hunger and poverty.
AmericanFeast.com also offers a gift box of delectable gourmet brownies with proceeds supporting the Greyston Foundation's low-income housing, childcare, and healthcare. The Foundation's bakery offers on-site training, and fair wages to local residents, regardless of work history. Greyston's brownies are ideal for the giver who believes in making choices that make a difference, especially for those who can use a helping hand.
Know a foodie with a taste for hard-to-find heirloom items? Then the Native Harvest Wild Rice: Manoomin is a perfect gift. Unlike the genetically manipulated, "wild rice" grown in paddies, this indigenous rice is an important American heirloom crop. It grows naturally in the lakes of Minnesota and is hand-harvested by Native Americans using traditional methods. The Ojibwe people call it "the food that grows on water".
Proceeds from the rice support the White Earth Indian Reservation's efforts to recover land, practice traditional land stewardship, and preserve the community's cultural heritage. It's a wonderful choice for the giver who wants America's heritage preserved for future generations.
There are dozens more artisanal, hand-crafted foods from families operating some of America's most creative kitchens and family farms using sustainable practices at AmericanFeast.com.
