Africa Bar

Fudgy Ghana 66% dark chocolate with Yasamin’s hand-powdered baobab.


The farmer is angry.

Farmers don’t burn the rainforest to plant cacao; they grow it the old way.

Children are not slaves; children are children, cacao is cacao.

He’s proud of his farm and the farms of the others. He is a man of cacao and family and people and the land. Ghana cacao is worthy.

Note. I met him at a chocolate festival, where a speaker casually mentioned that farmers in Cote d’Ivoire and Ghana burn the rainforests to plant cacao. He showed us photos and videos of his farm, and we spoke for a long while.
