During the Holidays this year, Frog Hollow Farm will focus a lot more on the thought that goes into gift giving. They want a gift purchased by a Frog Hollow customer also to be a gift to the third-world family who helped create it. Every gift basket Frog Hollow Farm offers has a face behind it – an artisan who works in a safe environment, can send her children to school, and can save for the future with the reliable income she earns through fair trade.

Using beautiful handcrafted gift baskets to package Holiday gifts ordered by Frog Hollow Farm customers, organic fruit and pastry gifts from Frog Hollow are gifts that improve the lives of artisans and farmers worldwide.  Frog Hollow Farm is working with SERVV, a Fair-Trade not-for-profit company that guarantees fair wages for creators of beautiful handmade products.

Beautiful round nesting baskets woven from natural fibers are one of the specialties of Dhaka Handicrafts of Bangladesh, a non-profit organization which assists artisans to attain self-sufficiency.  Purchase this Farm Favorites Gift Basket and others at the Frog Hollow Farm website.  Dhaka has created employment for 1,800 families with over 10,800 beneficiaries. SERVV has worked with Dhaka since 1984 to encourage and create markets for their traditional craftsmanship.

Coiled oval baskets expertly crafted by a non-profit group in Rwanda is another fair trade gift basket used by Frog Hollow Farm in their Fruit Lover’s Delight gift package.

SERVV is a founding fair-trade organization that creates direct, long-term relationships with small organizations and cooperatives of disadvantaged artisans and farmers in Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, and here in the United States, connecting shoppers to the handmade products they make. SERVV creates economic opportunity by partnering with companies like Frog Hollow Farm so these traditional craftsmen can support their families through fair payments and respectful relationships.

More about these special holiday gifts: Frog Hollow Farm is a 143-acre certified organic farm located in the fertile Sacramento River Delta just east of San Francisco in Brentwood, California. Only steps from their orchards is Frog Hollow’s Farm Kitchen, where owner and chef Becky Courchesne tantalizes the taste buds of the staff with the tempting scent of homemade sweets and savories. Their conserves, turnovers, galettes, cookies, and more are made with Frog Hollow Farm fruits, organic ingredients, and a deep love of good food. All these make for beautiful and tasty Holiday gift giving.
