• Transparent Trade

    To us, “transparent trade” means knowing the people in our supply chain and making sure those folks get fairly compensated for their time, energy, and expertise. It also means sharing stories about who we buy cacao from and how we buy it, so you have the ability to assess the ethics of our supply chain.

  • Microloans for farmers

    We are building a revolving micro-loan fund for agricultural entrepreneurs in the communities that we buy cacao from. These loans are focused on cacao farmers and are made through Kiva.org, and you can click the link below to see our outstanding loans.

2024 impact summary

2024 was our first year in business and we got a slow, but steady, start to these micro-loans. In 2024, we loaned $625 to cacao farmers in the countries that we buy cacao from. 80% of the loans were to folks in Ecuador and 20% were to folks in Peru. 60% of the loans were made to women and 40% to men. All of these loans are being paid back on time, and the money will be re-loaned to new borrowers as these outstanding loans are paid off.

We will continue to contribute to this fund in 2025. Our goal is to diversify these loans across geographies and sectors so that the fund becomes an enduring resource for agricultural entrepreneurs in the communities we buy cacao from.
