Greg and his business partners had a different vision for their chocolate business, now called Nova Monda Cacao & Chocolate. They connect farmers and chocolate consumers directly by working with cooperatives and small cacao farmers in Nicaragua and Ecuador, paying fair prices and purchasing directly from the farmers and co-ops.

This small chocolate business goes beyond fair trade and organic standards, challenging mainstream practices in the chocolate industry. It’s a great example of the potential of developing solutions, rather than just fighting problems, in order to create the world we want to live in. As Nova Monda says, they are “bringing the ‘sacred’ back to cacao, and regenerating people and the planet one delicious bite at a time.”
