Equal Exchange fairly traded, gourmet chocolate products are made using famous Swiss standards in chocolate making and are a rich and delicious treat that supports small-scale farmers and their families. Our cocoa is sourced from three farmer cooperatives in the Dominican Republic and Peru; sugar from four cooperatives in Paraguay and Costa Rica; and milk (in the Milk Chocolate) from a cooperative in the U.S.

Equal Exchange, located in Massachusetts, writes: "Our organic fairly-traded gourmet chocolate bars are a rich and delicious treat that supports small-scale farmers and their families."

And here's a little more about Equal Exchange: "Equal Exchange currently works with more than 28 small farmer organizations in 14 developing countries. Our trading partners are small farmer cooperatives - businesses owned and governed democratically by the farmers themselves."

Training programs for women in Guatemala, an ecotourism project in Nicaragua, new classrooms in El Salvador - these are all examples of the initiatives that co-ops have taken in their own communities with the income and support of Equal Exchange and other Fair Trade Organizations.

Fair Trade helps build pride, independence and community empowerment for small farmers and their families in poor countries in Latin America, Africa and Asia."

Equal Exchange offers a variety of Fair Trade products we post in the Fair Trade section of the BuzzFlash.com progressive marketplace, including coffee. As one coffee farmer noted: "Equal Exchange is much more to us than just a buyer of our coffee. We see you as a partner who treats farmers as equals. You share our commitment to growers and to the land, and are helping us to create a better future."- Pedro Haslam, General Manager CECOCAFEN Cooperative, Nicaragua
