The Chocolate and Love family (which consists of Richard, Birgitte and their daughter Sophia) set out to meet and greet the cocoa farming families that make up parts of the collective under The Fairtrade Foundation in The Dominican Republic. After the formalities and introductions, it was time to muck-in for a walk through of a typical harvest. This trip enlivened the Chocolate and Love ethical business and created a need for more activism around ethical trade awareness in crop commodities.
