Item Description

At Goodnow Farms, they are single origin chocolate makers. Much like coffee, different cacao beans have different flavors, so by using beans sourced from only one farm or region they are able to highlight the distinct flavor characteristics of that particular bean.  

The chocolate makers have spent a lot of time on farms in Mexico and Central America searching for the most flavorful beans, and have developed direct relationships with the farmers who grow and harvest them.  By dealing directly with farmers, they are able to ensure that they’re fairly compensated for their cacao, and also that the farming practices they’re using are sustainable.

All of their bars are made at their 225 year old farm in Sudbury, Massachusetts. They start with cacao beans and sugar, and perform every step of the chocolate making process in-house, including carefully hand wrapping each bar.

 

Gift basket includes one of each of their single-origin, small batch chocolate bar, hot cocoa, two mugs, hats, and a water bottle.
