The coffee is certified organic, shade grown by OCIA International (The Organic Crop Improvement Association).

The complex aroma, medium body, slight wineyness and clean finish are unique characteristics that only a great Nicaraguan coffee can offer. Our Nicaragua Matagalpa coffee is Organic, Shade Grown and Fair Trade certified.



Badger Balms, Potions and Natural Remedies

Badger makes really good stuff! The main ingredient in all of their balms is Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil. They use it because it is the most therapeutic of all skin care oils. When you imagine some ancient Mediterranean goddess lounging by her baths and anointing herself with precious oils, extra virgin olive oil was "the balm." Speaking of precious oils, all of Badger’s essential oils are naturally processed and most of them are either organically grown or otherwise ecologically produced. They come to Badger from the four corners of the Earth. They smell great and they have the ability to uplift body, mind and spirit. It's strange, but you can be feeling down, breathe in the fragrance of bergamot or tangerine and find yourself transported to a totally different place.

Badger products offered include lip balms, body butters and body balms in a variety of fragrances.



Organic Shady Maple Waffle Cookies

Canadians no longer have to leave home to enjoy Certified Organic Stroopwafels, this tasty Dutch treat. The original "stroopwafel," dates back to 18th century Holland, where people in the Gouda region just couldn't get enough of the crunchy, caramel-filled waffle biscuits. Today, this legendary Dutch treat, with its sensual creamy center, is more popular than ever... and not just in Holland. The stroopwafel is the single best-selling food item at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport, as tourists grab for one more last great taste before they leave or to take a supply home with them.

Fortunately stroopwafel lovers no longer have to fly to Holland for the real thing. Thanks to Shady Maple Farm, you can now enjoy a genuine Dutch stroopwafel in Canada and one with a very tasty twist indeed. Instead of conventional caramel, Shady Maple Farm stroopwafels have a filling made using their own organic maple sugar or organic honey, giving you the best of both worlds!!
