Chocolate For The Soul
Frederick Schilling loves chocolate (well heck, who doesn’t), so he set out to create the finest organic chocolate, to benefit not only people but also the planet. His company, Dagoba Organic Chocolate, works with cocoa cooperatives in Costa Rica to sponsor reforestation programs and they are partnering with urban greening programs in the US. They purchased green power for their manufacturing plant and created recycled packaging using soy based ink.
