Easter is just around the cor­ner, and we have the per­fect way for you to indulge in choco­late rab­bits and eggs by the dozen: Fair Trade Cer­ti­fied choco­late! Thanks to Sjaak’s Organic Choco­lates and Sweet Earth Organic Choco­lates you can par­take in the Easter tra­di­tion of choco­late eat­ing and help cocoa farm­ers cre­ate sus­tain­able busi­nesses at the same time.

Sjaak’s gets the Easter egg rolling with their range of Organic and Fair Trade spe­cials. Tra­di­tion­al­ists can go for the Organic Fair Trade (and vegan!) chocolate-filled egg box or the equally Fair Trade and Organic milk choco­late bunny in a basket.

If you want to change things up a bit, check out the Spring edi­tion of Fair Trade nuts and chews choco­late assort­ment. And if you really want to do it big, go all out for the full tub of 106 dark choco­late eggs, all of which are Organic, Fair Trade and vegan.

If the Easter bas­ket is more your thing, then Sweet Earth has just the assort­ment for you. Their fully cus­tomiz­able bas­ket comes with any com­bi­na­tion of choco­late bun­nies, both solid and filled eggs, and two dec­o­rated Easter cookies.

All of the choco­late is Fair Trade, and $2.00 of each bas­ket bought goes towards Project Hope and Fair­ness to sup­port African cocoa farm­ers. Sweet Earth is also offer­ing truf­fle and choco­late egg boxes and a great Fair Trade wine and choco­late gift basket.

The choco­late indus­try has his­tor­i­cally been one of the most oppres­sive and exploita­tive in the world, so the fact that there are now Fair Trade options for farm­ers is a big step in alle­vi­at­ing the poverty that goes along with exploita­tion. There are approx­i­mately 1.2 mil­lion cocoa farms in West Africa, account­ing for 70 per­cent of the world’s pro­duc­tion. By buy­ing Fair Trade choco­late, you can help more and more of these farms become Fair Trade and pull them­selves out of poverty by becom­ing envi­ron­men­tally and eco­nom­i­cally sus­tain­able. And with the great options from Sweet Earth and Sjaak’s, no mat­ter what your tastes are Fair Trade has you cov­ered for the Easter season.
