Check out our shopping list of several great brands Gwell supports for Small Business Saturday!

Diaspora Co.

Why we support them: Diaspora Co. sources spices from over 150 farms in South Asia, compensating their farming partners with a living wage that’s "an average of 6x above the commodity price." They value equitable trade, cultural connections and storytelling through food.

Kanda Chocolates

Why we support them: Kanda Chocolates ethically sources its cocoa beans entirely from Ghana because, even though Ghana is the world’s 2nd largest producer of cocoa, they only export less than 2% of processed chocolate. Kanda Chocolates helps bring awareness to the high quality of Ghanaian cocoa beans through their ethical sourcing and local Ghana manufacturing operations.

BIPOC Box

Why we support them: BIPOC Box features a wide variety of curated boxes that include products from Black, Indigenous, People of Color and Women-owned businesses.
