Buddha Chocolate
Specialty Food Artisan
About
We make handcrafted chocolate and drinking chocolate. It is all vegan, paleo, and organic. Our chocolate is all made by hand - every single bar is hand poured! We use single origin cacao grown using agroforestry (the most sustainable growing methods for the earth and cacao plants). We sweeten only with organic coconut sugar, a healthy, low-glycemic, mineral rich sweetener. Almost all of our toppings are sourced locally from Oregon and the PNW. We make handcrafted chocolate bars: Wild Rose & Sea Salt, Oregon Hazelnut, Lavender Bliss, Mocha Crunch, Smoke & Salt, Strawberry Moon, and Salted Alchemy. We also make hand-poured almond butter cups and salted s'mores cups as well. We are known in town for our drinking chocolate - rich and creamy vegan, paleo decadence. We make it in a few varieties, including iced for the summer months.

Production Practices
Non Gmo Use Only Organic Materials Holistic Management
Our handmade products are all organic, vegan, paleo, non-gmo, gluten free, soy free, and fair trade. Our organic cacao is single origin and sourced from Oko Caribe in the Dominican Republic where it is ethically and sustainably grown using agroforestry (it is not a mono-crop but instead, the cacao grows within a complete biodiverse ecosystem). We source our toppings from Oregon, the greater PNW. For example, our Oregon grown toppings are wild rose petals, lavender flowers, hazelnuts, and sea salt. We remain committed to local and sustainable sourcing, while creating the highest quality chocolate.

Buddha Chocolate is run by partners and founders Laura and Cayce Pia. At Buddha Chocolate, we make every single item by hand. All of our chocolate is hand-poured by Cayce and hand wrapped by Laura. We are committed to creating healthy chocolate that is good for the body and spirit, while supporting fair trade, local, and organic agriculture. It brings us great joy to be offering vegan, paleo chocolate to the community, spreading goodness from the inside out.
