Feve Artisan Chocolatier

Feve Artisan Chocolatier is inspired by the desire to create innovative and sustainable chocolate confections, dedicated to both a uniquely artistic flavor experience and to transformative social justice. Shawn Williams, the founder and head chocolatier, is as passionate about seeing cacao farmers succeed as he is about creating beautiful and delicious chocolates. Aided by a micro-loan through Kiva, he was able to turn his years of experience as a chef and chocolatier into the first Chocolate-Covered Caramelized Nuts and other Feve confections—still favorites and best-sellers to this day.

Dedicated to the environment and each step in the chocolate-producing journey, Feve is committed to keep their footprint small and their positive impact large. 5% of their profits are lent through Kiva to cacao farmers, helping grow their businesses through micro-lending. They purchase only non-GMO verified chocolates from companies working with farmers who are paid fairly for their work. Shawn is constantly working to create better quality of life for farmers, and delicious chocolates to boot. Feve offers a broad range of chocolate confections, including traditional and modern truffles, chocolate-covered nuts, homemade pralines, and other artistic confections.
