it all starts with the beans
Our cocoa beans and the lives they touch are at the heart of our business (our name comes from the Latin name for the cocoa tree - Theobroma cacao!). We believe that the most sustainble cocoa is cocoa that is profitable for farmers to grow. We know exactly where our organic and fair trade cocoa beans come from, and build relationships with the communities who grow them.
Fair Wages for Farmers
We pay more than conventional cocoa bean prices to ensure living incomes for farmers and contribute to fair trade development funds for the communities who grow our beans.
No Forced Child Labor
Our Fair Trade, Fair for Life certification validates that no forced child labor occurs on farms where we source cocoa.
Sustainable Farming
Through our trading partner, Esco Kivu, farmers are trained with an emphasis on agroforestry, shade grown cocoa, and crop diversity.
