Greetings! In the spirit of the holidays (already in full swing around here), we are focused on giving. Giving to our customers in the form of delicious holiday treats and giving back to farmers and growers worldwide through Fair Trade. October is also Breast Cancer Awareness month. Wild Rose Marketing and many of our vendors actively support this important cause. Liza MIlijasevic

Theo Holiday Caramels |
Sorry Scrooge - no "Bah, Humbug" here!
We have perfect stocking stuffers including: gorgeous Star and Reindeer Pops from Concertos in Chocolate and Hot Chocolate sticks, now with marshmallows (2010 SOFI Gold winner) from Belgium's Chocolate Source.
For Holiday breakfasts, what about Stonewall Kitchen's Blueberry Breakfast gift set (pictured above) or Mini Jam Tree. These are elegantly packaged and work equally well for Hanukkah or Christmas mornings. Theo Chocolate and Vosges Haut-Chocolat both return with their wonderful holiday bars. The Theo Gingerbread Spice bar is like a gingerbread latte - with chocolate! Theo Chocolate also launches a range of 3pc holiday caramels including a peppermint, pink salted and grey salted (available October 24th) - great hostess gifts. At the end of the day, your customers can curl up by the fire with one of The Republic of Tea's Holiday Teas - on special through November. More Great Holiday Items! |

October is Fair Trade month |

"Fair Trade is not about charity. It is a holistic approach to trade and development"- The Fair Trade Federation
All of the companies that Wild Rose Marketing represents care about sustainability. Sustainable business is part of our mission statement. There are now many certification bodies and Fair Trade partnerships including Fair Trade USA, The Fair Trade Federation, Fair for Life, The Ethical Tea Partnership, Rainforest Alliance and Whole Trade. Some of our vendors have their own guidelines to work with smaller farmers who cannot afford certification. Regardless of the label, vendors who embrace Fairly Traded and sustainable practices are improving lives and changing the planet.
Some companies that we represent that have products that are certified Fairly Traded are:
- Big Tree Farms - CocoHydro and Sweet Tree Coconut Palm nectar
- The Republic of Tea
- Bissinger's Chocolate
- Belgium's Chocolate Source
- Theo Chocolate
- Lake Champlain Chocolate
- Madecasse chocolate and vanilla
- Café Altura Coffee
- Desert Sun Coffee - Durango, CO
How Wild Rose Marketing Vendors support Fairly Traded and Sustainable Foods |
| | Breast Cancer Awareness Month |
 Join us in supporting the many Breast Cancer charities which are promoting understanding and research into this terrible disease. Kudos to The Republic of Tea which has been supporting Susan G. Komen for the Cure for 10 years with its "Sip for the Cure" range. $1 from the sale of each NEW Strawberry Hibiscus tea will be donated to this cause.
