About Us
We love connecting with people and this picture perfectly captures us together. We are both “all-in” when it comes to this principle. We also love what we do on a daily basis. We wanted to give something back to this world as it’s given us so many gifts; the gifts of family, the beauty of our children, and the ability to connect with different communities around the world. That is why we put all of our intentions into creating K’UL.
In 2014 we did something a little uncommon for our honeymoon. We decided it was as important to give back during the time celebrating our union as much as honoring our new path together. With that intention, we choose to help distribute Vitamin A in remote villages of India with an amazing organization called Vitamin Angels. It was during this trip that we witnessed the true spirit of people living life with a full heart. There was happiness that we witnessed, even though the living conditions were challenging. We saw joy and contentment that really caught us off guard. It was during this trip that we committed to building a business that gave back to the world and that directly supported communities in a way we could only dream of doing a year earlier.

Practices
We have made it the mission of our company to operate as a social enterprise to elevate those that work so hard to bring something as cherished as chocolate to our tables. You see, it’s people that inspired us to begin the journey of K’UL. We believe that people are far more important than profit. We are also firmly set on the belief that if you support women, they will, in turn, strengthen their families and their communities.
We have come to understand that the most effective work is done by communicating and working directly with the people that inspire us. By partnering with these communities, we can have a better understanding of the work that is needed to be done in order to provide an economic balance between grower, producer, manufacturer, and retailer.
We invite you to follow K’UL’s efforts in sharing the human story behind chocolate; it’s something that we are thrilled to take part of together.
