From Pastry Chef to Chocolate Artisan: Discover David Ricketts' Sustainable Bean-to-Bar Journey.


Bean to Bar chocolate maker and qualified pastry chef David Ricketts sources his Sourced Single Origin Cocoa Beans from companies that are close to the farmers, and by doing so he can ensure the grower of the Cocoa is paid a generous amount for their hard work. Hailing from the pristine environment of Tasmania and moving to Coffs Harbour, David loves nature and wants his chocolate to have the smallest footprint possible. He drives up to Harwood NSW, around 100km away for his sugar and all of David’s packaging is completely home compostable.

Sourcing cocoa and sugar for a sweeter future.


We Source our Cocoa Beans from companies that are close to the Farmers, and by doing so we can ensure the grower of the Cocoa is paid a generous amount for their hard work. I drive up to Harwood, NSW, around 100km away to pick up my sugar from a retailer who gets it from down the road at the Harwood Refinery, so that my sugar is as local as I can get!
