As a pioneer in the American chocolate movement, the Vermont chocolate com- pany strives to create only the best-tasting chocolates imaginable. Long before “eating local” became a trend, it just made sense that using high-quality honey, maple syrup, and fresh dairy from local farmers and producers would result in superior chocolates. Today, the second-generation, family-owned company’s pursuit of the extraordinary continues. As a Certified B Corporation®, the company is committed not only to be the best in the world, but to be the best for the world by supporting cacao-growing communities and using 100 percent fair trade–certified chocolate, reducing toxins in the environment by sourcing organic ingredients, whenever possible, respecting employees and suppliers, and making a positive impact on the local and global communities. This commitment to the community has been rooted in Lake Champlain Choco- lates’ vision since the beginning—and the company is proud to contribute annually to a variety of nonprofit organizations and programs; however, the Vermont Refugee Resettlement Program (VRRP) holds a special place in the heart of the company.
