NCGA is excited to offer for sale two International Year of the Cooperative limited edition chocolate bars designed for member co-ops by Theo Chocolate of Seattle.  Of course they are certified organic, fairly traded, and contain no GMO ingredients.  

These chocolate bars will be available for Co-op Month in October and throughout the 2012 holiday season. 

Sales of these promotional bars go to support the Cepi Café cocoa co-op of Peru and the Fortaleza de Valle cocoa co-op of Ecuador.  Each label shows pictures taken by Theo at each of these co-ops.

 Learn more about Theo's fair trade organic chocolate at their website.  

Your purchase helps support cocoa farmers by ensuring living wages, promotes the health of our planet through organic growing practices, and creates artisan food manufacturing jobs in the U.S. And 50¢ of your purchase goes directly to support the cooperatives that provide the cacao for our bars. Co-ops aim to raise more than $40K for the cacao growers by the end of 2012. It’s just another way that food co-ops and our shoppers and owners are helping to build a better world!
