Can we think global and act local? Absolutely! TerraSource Gourmet Chocolates strengthens the local economy by identifying and working with local growers of organic fruits and edible flowers and converting these healthy ingredients into delightful chocolates for your enjoyment. We use local financial institutions, graphic design and accounting. Most of our chocolate is fair trade certified from Peru, Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic. The remainder is fairly traded (but not certified) from Columbia. For those ingredients we can't find locally, fair trade helps global partners improve their quality of life.

We produce our chocolates to be healthier for people and the planet by

    • supporting livable wages among growers;
    • choosing Earth-friendly sources and packaging; and
    • aiming for carbon neutral energy use goals in both production and transportation.

We have selected boxes that reflect our green commitment. Our boxes consist of 100% recycled fiber - on average 80% is post consumer. The outer paper wrap material is Manufactured Carbon Neutral, FSC Certified, Green-e certified with wind certificates, Process Chlorine Free (PCF), and made with 100% post consumer waste & Green seal certified.
