Thanks for all the love, rain or shine.

Together, we co-create an economy we all deserve: neighbor to neighbor, rooted in reciprocity, and biased to connection over consumerism.

Hi! My name is Petacón Mango. I grew up in Mexico from a long lineage of Petacón trees. I have lots of cousins, including sumac. People say we don’t look alike.

I’m organic and sweet, but that doesn’t define me. My best friend is slowcocoa | mindful craft chocolate. We do fun things together, like go for a dip in chocolate.

You know how some pools are really chlorinated? And some dark chocolate is really bitter? Well, the pools I swim in aren’t like that. They’re sweet and complex, like me. That’s why I don’t swim in human pools. Also because I don’t have thumbs.

You can find me in compostable baggies at the farmers market. Those baggies are made from cellulose. That’s like recycled tree fibers, basically. Fancy human stuff. Oh and I love to travel all over the US, even Puerto Rico. People love to introduce me to their friends. They call me “spicy”, which is a compliment in human speak.

Our crowd fund campaign did not reach our goal!

We’re still celebrating.

As a white-owned business, we have plenty access to capital - even as it doesn’t feel like it most days. Yes, we’re struggling - mindful chocolate, from cacao to compost, is crazy expensive to make, y’all. But the need for wealth redistribution remains our North Star. This has never been about the chocolate.

Craft chocolate is our medium. The art is showing up. Recentering “sweetness” as more than candy. Raising the bar.

Sweetness starts in relationship: to community, food, ourselves.

We’re on a mission to become the first 100% worker-owned craft chocolate maker cooperative by 2035.

Thanks for joining us for the ride 🍫🥂🩵

& lots of other hands & hearts & generations - yes - of care.

Our work was never intended to be “convenient” or expedient or efficient or optimized. The more typos the better, we say.

F*CK AI for suggesting we should ever want something else.

These hands are enough! You are enough! Our creativity, intelligence, art, talent, curiosity… it’s enough. F AI for making any of us believe we must do or be anything more than what this human allows in this very moment.

Also let’s be clear…AI could never make chocolate 🤷‍♀️💅

GIFT CARD SALE.

This fall, slowcocoa celebrates 5 years since our first farmers market. We’re so grateful to announce the next stage of our growth.

To get there, we’re asking for your help.

Folks often ask us, “where can we find you during the week?” Nearly two years in the works, we are SO excited to share this rebirthing of slowcocoa | mindful craft chocolate in the form of our new packaging. So many humans have contributed their full selves to make this idea come to fruition. We need your to make the final push.

For a limited time, save 20% on your holiday shopping when you purchase a slowcocoa | mindful craft chocolate gift card. Buy a $50 gift card for $40, or a $100 gift card for $80. Use promo code “SLOW20” at checkout. No expiration date. Redeem when we launch our new packaging this fall!

We’re looking to raise $25,000 in gift card pre-sales. That will allow us to purchase cacao beans, and print the first run of our new packaging.

Thanks for supporting mindful chocolate 🩵
