Sweet Earth Chocolates Niche for Organic Fair-trade Chocolates


Chocolate is one of life’s sweetest guilty pleasures. Luckily, the owners of Sweet Earth Chocolates in San Luis Obispo are doing their best to offer guilt-free ways to meet the needs of your sweet tooth.


The idea for the company began simply enough. Tom Neuhaus, associate professor of food science and nutrition at Cal Poly, and his wife, Eve, were looking for some sort of modest business to run after Tom retired from full-time teaching.

Something like Sweet Earth seemed perfect, combining Tom’s food industry skills with the couple’s passion for chocolate. The vision and scope of their retirement plans changed significantly after a trip to a cocoa farmers’ co-op in Ghana in the summer of 2003.
