Best Tour for Chocolate Lovers!

While I was in Seattle a couple of weeks ago, I went to Theo Chocolate for a tour.  This is a company that is commited to being green, organic and fair trade certified.  And with the exception of the confections, their chocolate is also kosher.  Why not?  This is the only chocolate factory of this kind in the U.S.! 
Most people realize that organic implies the trees are not treated with pesticides and chemical fertilizers, but do you know what is involved in a Fair Trade Certification?  One thing is a commitment to excellence as well as to the families who grow and harvest the cacao.  The children get adequate nutrition and acess to healthcare and education, and therefore have a chance for great opportunities in life.  The farmers have an opportunity to improve their technology and growing techniques in order to grow their business.
Theo also runs the business in a green way.  The factory was installed in an existing building.  Their roaster was made in 1930 and still works perfectly.  Using green energy sources to power the factory, using sustainable packaging and printing methods, and educating those on their tours regarding social and environmental accountability presents a great example to other businesses and their customers for supporting green living!
And by the way, the chocolate taste is incredible! 
Check out their website and product line at www.theochocolate.com to learn more about this great company and find out where you can buy and experience the chocolate.
Do you know about a green business that is so thorough in its commitment?
