Wholesome Sweeteners is committed to a GMO-free world (GMOs are genetically modified organisms). We back that commitment up ... Natural processes are one thing, but GMOs are not for us. USDA Organic standards help protect us all—if a product bears the USDA Organic logo, it is inherently GMO free. There is, at this time, no GMO option for sugar cane or agave (but we understand that both are “in the labs”). Nonetheless, we wanted to get a head start assuring you that our products remain Wholesome, sweet, and minimally processed--just as nature intended them. For more information about the Non-GMO Project, our third-party verifier, and GMOs in general, please visit http://www.nongmoproject.org/, and as you shop, begin looking for this logo on the products you buy. It is another way we’re all making the world a naturally sweeter place.

Our Fair Trade family grows ... Meet CORA, our newest Fair Trade Farming Cooperative in Paraguay
Our regular readers know that Fair Trade has remarkable power to make a big difference in the lives of cane farmers and beekeepers. You--consumers who support Fair Trade goods--are responsible for making that difference. When you buy Fair Trade CertifiedTM sugars and honeys, you support the business model and create demand, but you are also helping change the world for families in far away places. We know that those lives seem far away and distant. We wanted to bring it all a bit closer and, in so doing, extend our thanks. And we introduce you to our newest Fair Trade Certified partner, Cañeros Orgánicos Asociados (CORA), in Tebicuary Mi, Paraguay. Read more ...

In the last issue of the Sugar Club, we invited readers to join in our recipe development project for our NEW Cinnamon-, Maple-, Strawberry-, and Vanilla-Flavored Agave Syrups. The responses were … well … frankly … overwhelming, but in the most delicious way. We’ve been busy trying and tasting, trying and tasting (we love our jobs!). They were all so good. Thanks to all who shared recipes. We’ve narrowed it all down to one winner and two runners up.
 Please check out our new blog, it's right there on the home page.
