The Martha Stewart Show - "Fall Fig Pumpkins with Martha" 10/07
John & Kira join Martha to make our Fall Pumpkin Figs on tv (short commercial first, but worth the wait). Listen for the "aaaah" at the end when John fills the fig perfectly, much to his surpirse and relief.

The Today Show - "Bee My Lovebug Box" 2/08
Our Bee My Lovebug box of Caramel Bees and Magical Ladybugs get their 15 minutes (actually about 45 seconds) of fame with Matt and the crowd on the Today Show.

O Magazine - "Drunken Pumpkins" 10/07
Oprah shines a light on our now famous Fall Fig Pumpkins.

Lime - "Meet John Doyle " 07/06
"Most importantly, the company imbues both its chocolates and its business plans with a generous dollop of social responsibility. They get their mint by starting and utelizing school-run urban city gardens. The fruits, honey and nuts used in the chocolates are locally produced by small farmers as much as possible; when ingredients such as ginger and coffee must come from farther afield, they are still produced in small batches from cooperative farms."


USA Today - "Sweet Spots for Chocolate" 02/06
"High-quality dark chocolate married with garden-flavorful ingredients. The mint is a standout — julep-fresh and not overpowering. Raspberry-, lemongrass- and ginger-infused squares also astound."

WRAL Raleigh Durham - "CR Looks for Best Box of Chocolates"
"John and Kira's assortment - mostly dark chocolates - but what they're about is the intense, explosive flavors like a handful of mint you picked out of you garden, raspberries like you pulled them off a berry bush."
