Angi is souring the beans from Kim Wilson, Co-Founder of Cocoa Future. Kim is traveling and working directly with the farmers in Indonesia. Here’s why the farmers at origin are exceptional: 

  • The  2,300+ cooperative members actively manage and invest in their farms.
  • Their farmers maintain certification and on-going training with Rainforest Alliance to maintain biodiversity and ensure sustainable livelihoods.
  • Their genetics, fermentations and careful sun-drying yield a bright, fruity flavor often associated with better-known origins like Madagascar.
  • Women are well represented and active in their cooperative management structure. 
  • They’re an enterprising group that has ventured into making their own chocolate confections, drinks and products for sale locally and nationally. 
  • They are the model of hospitality - hosting countless visitors from chocolate producing nations and often other grower groups from around the world for knowledge exchange!
  • They were our first grower partner - they have willingly pushed through every experiment, obstacle and growing pain together.
