This Valentine’s Day, treat your loved ones to a bouquet of 20 roses for $20 from Whole Foods Market.

Thanks to shoppers’ Whole Trade flower purchases, Whole Foods Market has generated funds for more than $4 million in premiums to support improvement programs for floral workers and their communities in Ecuador, Colombia and Costa Rica. So far, those extra dollars have funded first homes for families, scholarships for children, art programs, community centers, medical and dental treatments and an overall improvement in the quality of life for farm workers, their families and their communities.

In addition to funding community improvement projects, our Whole Trade Guarantee ensures fair prices to producers, safe and healthy working conditions for farm workers, environmentally-friendly growing practices and high quality products.  Plus, one percent of retail sales of each purchase goes to Whole Planet Foundation for poverty relief.
