I asked Rodney of Equal Exchange about your q and got an answer, below. Hope it's helpful -- and best of luck with the fudgemaking! :) ________ This kind of request – for quantities greater than normal consumer usage, but way smaller than real wholesale or industrial use – is always hard, if not impossible to fulfill. In this case I'd say there best chance is to call the various Fair Trade cocoa/chocolate licensees: http://www.transfairusa.org/content/certification/licensees2.php#cocoa Or, hope that the 100% Fair Trade artisan chocolatier, Sweet Earth, can & will help him out.

They definitely have Dagoba cocoa, though I'm not certain about the bars -- Still, an excellent shopping choice :) Hey MacroGal — You might wanna try Co-opportunity, since you’re already in Santa Monica.

I have a tin of their cocoa brought back from Boulder but can't find the bars...they're fair-trade, sustainably farmed, organic, vegan, and all that jazz.
