Matt visits Chocosol Traders on St. Clair, gets a hot chocolate and learns about their deep commitment to ethical and sustainable chocolate from Mathieu McFadden, Chocosol's 'Chief Chocolate Pedaller.' Chocosol takes real care of their entire supply chain from bean to bar, developing meaningful human relationships and supporting regenerative agriculture.
Matt and Matt talk about bikes, solar roasters, pumpkin seeds, popular education efforts in Mexico, forest gardens and more. It's surprising how many different problems chocolate can solve if you make it right!
