Choose Better Chocolate

Choose chocolate for those trick-or-treaters this Halloween that supports cocoa farmers and their families.

We all love to see those trick-or-treating kids in their favorite Halloween costumes and we’re ready with bags of candy by the door. With so many bags of cheep chocolate available, have you ever given a thought to where it comes from?

Cocoa farmers and their family’s, including children, work extremely hard for very little pay. They have no other means of climbing out of poverty. But we as consumers can make good choices about which companies we buy our chocolate from. Join Green America with me to support companies that support fair trade. 

Visit the Green America website for:

  • more facts about cocoa farmers
  • printable cards to spread awareness this Halloween
  • and links to buy fair trade chocolate minis.

Cocoa Farmers in Ghana. Choose better chocolate this Halloween for all those trick-or-treaters in halloween costumes at your door. Support fair trade companies

    Wow! Those are really shocking statistics. I’ve become more aware of the importance of shopping fair trade products, but I didn’t know all of this about cocoa. Thanks for enlightening your audience!

    Shocking facts! But I’m not surprised to see the retailers are making the largest profit. It’s so hard to know what really goes on with much of what we purchase.
