ABOUT THE FARM

And why should that matter to you?
Being little—and staying little—allows us to act righteously.
And that righteousness is what makes the chocolate so damn good!
We are working at a scale where we can choose not to compromise.
On anything.
So we don’t.
Only the best cacao beans, that we are 100% certain are ethically sourced.
Only organic evaporated cane juice instead of processed sugars.
Only stupidly excellent milk when we need it.
Only the most righteous, delicious chocolate bars.
Made by hand, to the unusually high standards of our little operation.
We will not *ever* compromise on the human rights side of sourcing and production. The cacao trade can be sketchy to say the least, and often is criminal. If you want to know more about that, google “cacao human rights violations.”
We are proud of that, and proud of the chocolate we make.
Try one of our little bars. They’re just the right size...Each Little Burde Bar is made from beans ethically and directly sourced by Meridian Cocoa. A single batch makes as little as 100 and up to 250 bars. With so many changing variables, each batch is unique. My current batch maximum is about 8 kilograms of un-roasted beans which, after sorting the bad beans from the good ones, yields about 7 kilograms of delicious chocolate. Typically, with a good batch where all goes right, there will be about 200 bars to share with you all. Changing variables such as adding a couple of seconds to the bean’s roasting time can change the flavor of the chocolate. This makes every Little Burde batch of chocolate unique and each bar a rare taste of that batch. That’s why we record each batch number at the back of the bars.
