The World’s most Socially Responsible CookieBy Madelyn Miller, the TravelLady
Liz Lovely Inc, a Vermont-based, nationally distributed cookie maker has re-released their entire line of cookies as Certified Organic, Certified Fair Trade and Certified Vegan. This is the first nationally distributed product in this segment to acquire all three certifications. The suggested retail price of the cookies has not changed: $3.99 to $4.39 for "2 big ones".
I still remember the first time I tasted a Liz Lovely cookie. I am not a vegan. I can’t even say I eat very healthy—except now that chocolate and coffee are considered healthy my healthy eating rating may have soared. After one bite, I could not believe they were Vegan. They tasted as good or better than anything vegan I had ever tasted.
I called my favorite vegan and asked him to come try the cookies. Cliff eagerly came over and pronounced them the best he had ever tasted. (Just for background, you should know that Cliff’s Vegan and Cookie credentials are based on the fact that he got me started on Trader Joe’s unsalted peanut butter) Cliff has good taste—but is really picky about what he eats. I know he would pick Liz Lovely cookies. Liz Lovely Releases First Certified Organic, Fair Trade, Vegan CookiesAccording to Dan Holtz, Liz Lovely’s vice president of sales, "Customer demand for Organic and Fair Trade products is huge, and still growing. We’re first-to-market with these certifications, and it was not easy to achieve all three certifications. Our new recipe uses only sustainably harvested organic palm fruit oil in place of the processed egg and butter substitutes we were using previously. It’s also important to note that, unlike palm kernel oil, palm fruit oil is heart-healthy and 100% free of trans-fat."
Liz Lovely partnered with the Vermont chapter of the Northeast Organic Farmers Association and TransFair USA to identify available ingredients, setup audit trail systems, and prepare the business for Organic and Fair Trade certification with the respective organizations. Liz Lovely has been Certified Vegan by Vegan Action since their inception in 2003. AND SO THE LOVE STORY ENDS HAPPILY AND HEALTHY EVER AFTERLiz Lovely was founded in 2003 by high school sweethearts Liz and Dan Holtz and is located in the Green Mountains of Vermont. Liz Lovely, Inc. bakes and distributes Certified Organic, Fair Trade Certified, Certified Vegan cookies to leading natural foods retailers throughout the country.

Liz Lovely also sells eco-friendly baked goods and gift baskets for consumers, corporate giving, and events directly from their website.
