About Aaron: Raised in Minnesota, Aaron has worn many hats throughout his life—he's been a farmer, a botanist, a brewer, a baker, a chef, and a chocolate maker. He’s passionate about small-batch craft chocolate, and he loves experimenting with fruits, herbs, and spices.

About Karl: Karl has an entrepreneurial spirit dedicated to taking on what he describes as the ultimate career challenge—building a sustainable and ethical business in the notoriously difficult industry of craft chocolate. He’s also interested in history, culture, and generally making the world a better place.
