Seneca to Speak at Conservatory of Flowers!

Our own Seneca Klassen, who spent the summer planting his own Cacao Plantation in Oahu, Hawaii, will be speaking at the Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park Thursday, September 17th, from 6-7:30 PM.

Please join Seneca as he shares information about the botany and cultural history of chocolate. You’ll also experience a “behind the scenes” visit to a hidden treasure – a fruiting cacao tree in a Conservatory greenhouse. And then… you’ll enjoy tasting of 5 origin chocolates while gaining an understanding about the importance of post-harvest processing and quality finishing.

This is part of a Chocolate Event that they are hosting as an Evening of Chocolate. You can visit the Conservatory site to learn more and purchase tickets. Space is limited.

New Chocolate Bar From Madagascar

For all of you Madagascar lovers we now carry Madecasse 67%, 70%, and 75% Dark Chocolate Bars from Madagascar.

There are many things about this chocolate to like. Not only is it really very good, but it is fair trade and organic. Something that is important to all of us.

	A NEW APPROACH…
				We make our chocolate from scratch (bean to bar) in Madagascar. This means every step of our process happens close to the source and our cocoa beans only spend a month between harvest and manufacturing.
				It also means the people of Madagascar profit more (400% more) from their own natural resources.
				In addition to working closely with farmers, we equitably source sugar, packaging materials and transportation, all in Madagascar. And skills, market knowledge, profit and ownership are shared with the people of Madagascar.

-from the Madecasse website

They are doing great things as well as making great chocolate. Come in and try some today.
