Chocolate Makers & Sellers – Membership
If you make or sell chocolate, you know how powerful this product can be. But too often, chocolate is built on systems that exclude or exploit the very people who grow its key ingredient.
Join the Chocolution is here to connect chocolate makers and sellers with cocoa-growing communities in ways that are honest, transparent, and rooted in dignity.
Whether you're crafting bars, making bonbons, running a shop or a market stall — if you're committed to learning, growing, and being part of a wider change in chocolate, you're welcome here.
Membership Criteria
Membership is open only to chocolate makers and sellers who are committed to responsible sourcing and transparency. We prioritise relationships with those who demonstrate integrity in how they work with cocoa-growing communities, whether directly or through meaningful, traceable supply chains.
