Shabbat shalom! Thank you Earth Day Lovers! From our JTree correspondent, JTree planted 4,000 trees for Earth Day – thanks to you and a National Forest Foundation match! Celebrate Mom with a Tree Donation this year! Thank you for reforesting! Love your Mother.
Chocolate alert! From local community member Barbara Trager:
Do you love chocolate? Dark delicious chocolate? Pieces of chocolate bark flavored with plantain crisps or with coconut bits or with roasted ground coffee beans?
Our kids, Mara and Patrick, have recently started a new business… Bibamba Chocolate, made from cacao trees grown on their farm in Cameroon, which they produce and package in Denver and sell throughout the state.
Mara and her assistant will be at the Farmers’ Market in Boulder this Saturday from 8 am to 2 pm and every Wednesday afternoon 4 – 7:30 pm for the next 15 weeks! We invite you to stop by and say “hi” and learn about their incredible story. Check out their website… www.bibamba.com!
There will be more stories about Bibamba Chocolate in the BJN in coming weeks.
