Enduring Hardship In The Name Of Chocolate
Over the last 13 years, we have been through a lot of ups and downs in the chocolate business.
My brother had to say goodbye to his family and go work in the jungle hundreds of times.
My wife got food poisoning and broke out in terrible hives with no access to medical care.
We've invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in to cacao harvest only to have customers tell us it was a bad harvest.
And that is just scratching the surface.
But two thoughts keep us going.
1) Fortunato No. 4 Chocolate is such a good product that it deserves to remain in existence.
2) Hundreds of cacao farm families depend on us for income and we can't let them down.
This episode is filled with stories about times we had to ask ourselves why we should keep going and we share the answers that kept us from giving up.
