Theo's chocolate is the 1st certified Fair Trade and Fair for Life Chocolate Marker in the US. Their one and only factory is located in the Fremont District in Seattle, WA. Their chocolate is delicious. I have gone on their factory tour 3 times (once for myself and the other 2 times for my friends from out of state). And I have visited the factory multiple times just to buy their chocolate. The hour long tours are about $7 and you get to try a good number of chocolates while the tour. A spot can be reserved for the tour by calling them but they do accept walk-ins. However, the weekend tours can are really full and sometimes it is the same thing for the weekday tours. A hair bonnet is provided before entering the factory and also a beard bonnet for those with facial hair. If you have open toe shoes, you are required to purchase foot coverings AKA booties, but they are only a $1. Even if you can't go on the tour, the store does offer samples of most of their chocolates.
Wholefoods actually started carrying their products a few years back. Unfortunately the store does not carry my favorite bar in all stores, the Hazelnut Crunch bar. They are only located in the Wholefood stores in Washington, and I have to stock up every single time. Now only if they can carry their candied nibs too, that would be great.
