Chocolate |
For every bar sold, we donate 1% toward cleaning up the ocean. We're a family-run, bean-to-bar chocolate company. We make chocolate starting with cocoa beans and process them all the way through to finished chocolate bars. We work with different origins all over the world – our approach is a lot like wine or coffee where each origin has a unique and interesting flavor. We start with some of the best cacao in the world and sort it three times to remove impurities. That way we only make chocolate with the best of the best ingredients. Our mission since day one has been to help protect the ocean. From our tape, labels, and boxes to our shipping insulation and bar wrapper, our packaging pieces are either compostable, biodegradable, or recyclable. |

Vumami Foods
 |
Food Products |
Proudly made on Vancouver Island, Canada, Vumami Foods was founded by two omnivores turned vegans who were inspired by a plant-based meal at a Buddhist vegan restaurant in South Korea. They created Umami Bomb, a premium shiitake chili oil, through extensive trial and error, blending aromatic spices, fermented bean paste, and shiitake mushrooms to enhance the flavor of vegan meals. Their product is designed to add a unique and irresistible quality to any dish, and they honor the traditional territories of the Coast Salish People. |

Hummingbird Chocolate Maker

Chocolate |
Drew and I have always savoured chocolate, but we came to making it in a roundabout way. From Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, we’ve spent our careers working with farmers in developing countries which was just about the best job in the world. We learned much, helped a bit, and gained a huge respect and affection for people who make food, from grower to artisan. Life was a tad spartan, but it was considerably livened up by occasional indulgences of chocolate. When it was time to leave Kabul, it just seemed natural that we’d pursue chocolate making as it lets us connect with farmers, while learning how to craft something we love. We started out casually; a private hobby really. Friends wanted our bars and we experimented more. From there, chocolate became a passion. Soon enough, some insanely talented people joined us, considerably raising our game in the process. Together we’ve become crazily obsessed with making the best possible chocolate we can. There’s so much to learn in chocolate; get the right beans – do the right thing – and the flavours unlocked are incredible. Rush it, and it can be a disaster! We love what we do and reckon it’s worth the time to do it right. |
