Genius! Lovely to "meet" these guests too, very inspiring. You know, after being inundated with Big Chocolate's monopolistic presence my whole life, it's very refreshing to notice just how many of these folks are doing chocolate the healthy, hand-crafted, ethically sourced, well-paying way.
There's a sense, especially in the imperial core, that the sheer overwhelm of the world as it is demands we accede to it. But in fact, people have been carving out different lifeways all along, and will continue to do so.
To me, that's something worth paying top dollar for.
There are hundreds of small batch craft chocolate makers in the US alone, and increasingly more and more around the world. I recently met one from Estonia for example—they had flown all the way to Seattle for the NW Chocolate Festival.
The more we share their stories the more people will become aware of them—and enjoy the incredible chocolate they make.
Yes he is—met him and his partner at the NW Chocolate Festival, in fact spent some time with them at the Unconference as well. The Sorrel White Chocolate bar blew my mind. Looking forward to next year!

People and their opinions :) I think seeing what ChatGPT says is interesting - and love looking up what it says about me :)
Just what the doctor ordered. Thanks for the tag and the fascinating read! Really enjoyed it :)
Nick at One One Cacao is not just a talented chocolate maker, but one of the best humans I've met. So happy to see him here!
