In today’s fast-paced world, we indulge in all kinds of delicious food, yet we rarely pause to consider where it comes from or who grows and makes it. School Yard Kitchen is a brand that not only offers exquisite chocolate and chilli sauce but also carries a profound mission—to reduce child labour on farms and improve school attendance rates for Ghanaian farmers’ children. Every piece of chocolate and every drop of chilli sauce contributes to a brighter future for these children.
From Farm to Flavour, Rooted in Purpose
At School Yard Kitchen, our chocolate and chilli sauce are made from premium cocoa beans and chillies sourced directly from small-scale farmers in Ghana through contract farming. This ensures fair pricing, helps reduce child labour, and improves farmers’ economic conditions. We believe that truly exceptional chocolate isn’t just about taste, and a high-quality chilli sauce isn’t just about heat—it’s about giving back to the world with kindness.
The Perfect Blend of Cocoa and Chilli
By combining Ghanaian cocoa with chilli, we have created a truly unique chocolate range, starting with an innovative chilli-infused chocolate that offers an unforgettable taste experience. Coming soon, we will also introduce silky milk chocolate and rich dark chocolate. Whether you enjoy them as a personal treat or as a thoughtful gift for loved ones, every bite reflects our dedication to craftsmanship.
More Than Just Chocolate – A Delicious Revolution
School Yard Kitchen is more than a brand—it’s a movement. With every purchase, we invite you to be part of this positive change. In the near future, we will be launching a subscription plan, allowing you to receive a curated selection of chocolates or chilli sauces each month. Alongside these, you will also get to read the personal stories of our farmers and learn how their lives are transforming—ensuring that every sweet or spicy moment is filled with warmth and meaning.
Beyond Taste – Supporting Cocoa Farmers
Beyond crafting premium chocolates, we are committed to supporting cocoa farmers by introducing initiatives such as cocoa flower pollination training, organic fertiliser production, and intercropping with cashew and cayenne peppers to enhance agricultural sustainability. Additionally, we have built two classrooms and established scholarship programmes to ensure that more children receive an education. Every purchase directly supports both the Ghanaian and Scottish communities.
Partnering with STAND International for a Dual Impact
We proudly collaborate with STAND International, offering individuals in Scotland recovering from mental health challenges or addiction the opportunity to gain confidence through our community volunteer programme. Some even travel to Ghana to participate in our agricultural and community development projects. This initiative not only transforms the lives of Ghanaian farmers but also brings positive change to communities in Scotland.
