I fell into this as a craftsman, with a desire to learn something new. This idea of creating something from the seed or bean was so alluring. I had not thought of it as making food.

These cocoa pods have taught me so much. They have made me slow down to understand life, and how important our food and food producers are to our society, our traditions, our culture. Who we are depends so much on our food, where it is grown, who grows it, how we prepare it and how we serve it.

All the links below are people, organizations, companies that I have made honest connections with and admire their work.
