Ethically Sourced Flowers

As a society, we are more conscious of the ways our actions affect other people and the environment. We care more about where our food is sourced, and who makes it. We understand that companies should offer fair compensation to their employees, and that workers should be safe from abusive working conditions.

Many flowers are grown in developing countries where social programs are not in place to ensure basic human rights for all workers. Honest flowers is an American-based, family-owned business—where we grow all of our roses in greenhouses right here on American soil using sustainable practices. We are proud of our environmental performance and strive to be an example to other businesses in the industry.

Some companies purposefully buy flowers from places like China so that they can reap the profits from low wages, poor working conditions, and lack of health care. We don't support this business practice. At Honest, we value our employees, our roses and the environment more than a quick profit.

As a consumer, we have the power to choose not to buy flowers that have been ethically sourced and grown in safe working conditions.

Happy Valentine's Day from Honest!

We have taken the time to create a recipe to help you and your loved one celebrate the holiday with simple, heart-felt and delicious flowers. We hope that you enjoy this recipe and add it to your arsenal of healthy additions to your diet.

Ingredients:

1 Cup of Organic Wildflower Honey (100% Natural)

2 Cups of Water (Filtered)

3/4 Cup of Organic Lemon Juice (Freshly Squeezed - if you buy bottled, make sure it is in a glass bottle)

1 Teaspoon of Organic Pure Stevia extract (or other sweetener, to taste)  - You could use Truvia or a comparable substitute. If you want a sweeter flavor, add up to 3 tablespoons. If you want less sweet, cut back by half. The best way to obtain the purest Stevia is through purchasing it online from companies like this . 

1 Teaspoon of Organic Pure Vanilla Extract (Vanilla beans are best, but extract will do)

Instructions:

Combine the honey, water, lemon juice, and sweetener in a medium saucepan; heat to a boil while whisking. 

Gently simmer the mixture uncovered for approximately 10 minutes. This allows the ingredients to infuse together without having them break down from heat. Remove from heat. 

Add vanilla extract and stir to blend thoroughly. 

You may pour honey mixture into a clean glass jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid for storage in the refrigerator (maximum 4 weeks) or freezer (maximum 4 months).
