12-15-05 - Organic candy is nowhere.

Wow!!! Nobody seems to make organic candy. Nobody seems to know anything beyond organic chocolate. Are we nuts? I kind of don't think so. As I find out what goes into a regular lollipop it makes me cringe. I would love to have this company up and running by the time that Jonah and Rose could start enjoying yummy lollipops and I don't want pesticides and yuk in them. We'll forge ahead and make this happen! But every manufacturer in the US, Brazil, Mexico, Chile, everywhere I call knows nothing from organic candy. They're all so friendly, referring me to someone else that knows nothing about organic. Sergio finds a really nice company in Mexico that makes candy for the American market that tells him that they would be willing to try making a small batch of organic candy if we bring the ingredients to them and tell them what they need to do to make sure the batch is organic. More research. What is organic? How do we do organic?
