In this episode, Krista talks to Ben Conard, social entrepreneur and founder of Five North Chocolate. Five North Chocolate is a LGBT certified business enterprise which uses cacao sourced from Fair Trade farmers to create delicious, vegan and ethical chocolate flavored organic superfoods. Ben reveals how his business was born from his intention to create guilt-free confectionery and describes how it has grown into an award-winning company. His brand’s name references the fact that most of the world’s cacao is grown in West Africa, a place where small farmers face poverty and exploitation.

As an ethical entrepreneur, Ben encourages consumers to buy responsibly sourced chocolate in order to help prevent child labor and raise the living standards of cacao farmers and their families. He is passionate about his product, committed to supporting Fair Trade farmers and proud to celebrate diversity. He is also interested in starting conversations about where our food comes from and how it is produced. To learn more about Ben, visit www.fivenorthchocolate.com or follow @bconard on Instagram.
