We will start with an introduction to the basics of growing and harvesting cacao, and touch on a few of the many, intricate steps that need to be perfected to create a delicious bar with minimal ingredients. This will be followed by some applied learning, tasting some happy chocolate and less happy chocolate. We will look at The Chocolate Garage as a model for building community, up and down the supply chain and the untapped value that this unlocks. I hope a discussion will ensue around building new ways of engaging with our food, while building business models that align building community with local, high quality and carefully crafted. Bring your palates, hearts and minds! Dr. Carla D. Martin of the Department of African and African American Studies and the spring semester 2016 class AAAS 119x: Chocolate, Culture, and the Politics of Food will also be in attendance. _______________________________________________ Pfoho-announce mailing list Pfoho-announce(a)lists.fas.harvard.edu To unsubscribe from this list or get other information: https://lists.fas.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/pfoho-announce
