Mountain Rose Herbs Launches Nation's Only Line Of Epicurean Organics To Exceed Fair Trade Standards And Give Back To Organic Farming Research

    EUGENE, OR, June 10, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- A truly revolutionary line of products, Mountain Rose Herbs' NEW Epicurean Organics are redefining the culinary landscape, one bold flavor at a time. Every aspect of the Epicurean Organics line is one-of-a-kind--from the rich colors and flavors of the certified organic ingredients grown without chemical pesticides or herbicides, to the remarkable commitment to farmers' rights and organic farming research.

With the creation of each Epicurean Organics product, farmers are given full negotiation rights to determine their prices under Mountain Rose Herbs' Good Trade Program--a program that far exceeds traditional Fair Trade standards. The Good Trade Program is unique because it more fully protects the financial interests of the growers and harvesters. In addition, two-percent of the proceeds from each purchase are given to support the work of the Organic Farming Research Foundation.

All products are Certified Organic by Oregon Tilth and Certified Kosher by Earth Kosher. They are Non-GMO, Irradiation Free, Fairly Traded and Chemical Free.

The products offered in Mountain Rose Herbs' Epicurean Organics Line include:
