Pick your bar

Two single-origin bars to choose from.

Each December donor gets one bar. Each one uses cacao from a single growing region, so you can taste where it came from.

Dick Taylor Craft Chocolate, made in Eureka.

Adam Dick and Dustin Taylor started out in woodworking and boat building, which is why every wrapper has a ship drawn on it. In 2010 they bought some small equipment and started making chocolate from the raw bean.

They buy fairly traded cacao and do every step themselves at their small factory in Eureka: sorting the beans by hand, roasting, grinding, molding and printing the wrappers on a letterpress. One batch takes about three weeks.

The bars use only organic cacao and organic cane sugar, with no vanilla or emulsifiers, so the flavor of each region comes through.

Like our blood supply, it's local and made by neighbors for neighbors. Give local. Save lives. Spread a little sweetness.
