Our producers take measures to certify that all of the cocoa they purchase is produced without the use of forced labor. Our group of cooperatives are inspected to verify compliance with organic standards. They require written verification from the inspector that each farm is "slavery-free".

"Besides my love for chocolate, I was drawn to this project as a way to
support sustainable agriculture," states Nell. "Growing the cacao in the
ancient way meant that no rainforests would need to be destroyed. We can
encourage this method by supporting the farmers economically." The organic
cacao comes from small farmers in the Talamanca region on the Atlantic
coast of Costa Rica. Some of these farms provide important buffer zones
for the La Amistad Biosphere Reserve, a habitat for endangered mammal
and bird species. The organic sugar is from Mexico and Paraguay,
the organic milk powder is from Horizon Organics® in Colorado,
and the organic vanilla is from Madagascar.
