XOCOCO fair trade and organic coffee and hot chocolate - part 1

I had the pleasure of interviewing Marcus, proprietor of XOCOCO (pronounced sho-co-co, or kiss-hug-co-co) and maker of the best hot chocolate I’ve ever tasted. He makes his awesome organic coffees and hot chocolates from fair trade coffee and cocoa beans.

He runs his stall at the markets on Blamey Street at Kelvin Grove, an inner city suburb of Brisbane, Australia, every Saturday from 6 am to 1 pm.

The interview is split into two parts. In part 1, we discuss how he runs his business in an environmentally friendly way. In part 2, we touch on organic food and get into more detail about how fair trade works.

Please excuse my editing skills. I used fairly simple editing software, but mostly I can blame my inexperience.

See part 2 of the interview here.
