Meet the Makers

These chocolate chips are made from only organic cacao from Peru and organic sugar from Paraguay, both grown by small farmer co-ops. They’re manufactured in an allergen-free facility right in Peru. That means a greater percentage of the purchase price stays in the origin country, strengthening the local economy. The producers of the Association of Naylamp de Sonomoro (APANS) in the beautiful Sonomoro Valley of Central Peru grow oranges, coffee and cacao. In 2008, with only 19 members, the co-op applied for Fair Trade certification. The certifier called the farmers “crazy” and told them that the certification would not be worth their money. Regardless, they held onto their dreams and persevered. Today, APANS has nearly 300 members and expects to grow.
