A 70% dark chocolate bar made with cacao from Zorzal, a Smithsonian Bird Friendly® certified farm in the Dominican Republic's Cibao Valley, and sweetened with pure maple sugar from Audubon Bird-Friendly verified Gray Jay Maple Works in Maine. Two ingredients connected by the Atlantic Flyway, the same migration route traveled by the birds that winter on the cacao farm and return north each spring. Made bean-to-bar in Bend, Oregon, with notes of butterscotch, cherry, and french toast.

About Smithsonian Bird Friendly® Cocoa: This bar is made using 100% Bird Friendly® certified cocoa. The Bird Friendly® certification, developed by Smithsonian scientists, is rooted in decades of ecological research. It guarantees that certified farms are deforestation-free, certified organic, and maintain habitat for birds through either diverse shade trees or protected forest areas. When you buy Bird Friendly® chocolate, you are supporting producers who are doing the hard work of conservation in the field and are also supporting ongoing research and agricultural extension. 

About Audubon Bird-Friendly Maple: Audubon's Bird-Friendly Maple verification means the syrup comes from sugarbushes managed as living forest habitat, where producers keep a diversity of tree species (not just sugar maple), leave standing snags and downed logs, and protect the leaf litter that ground-nesting birds rely on.
