Happened last fall. The chocolate is still really darned good, and I feel confident that the folks running Dagoba itself are quite committed to organics and fair trade, but if local and/or small is more important to you then Dagoba is definitely out of the question. I guess the issue of “local” begs the question of how local is local when all the sugar and cocoa are grown overseas anyway. But local ownership of the manufacturing/marketing company is important too, so you may well want to support your local hometown chocolatier instead and encourage them to adopt fair trade and organic certifications.

Here’s are some articles about the Hershey’s buyout of Dagoba:

Oh no! I actually bought some today, choosing it over some locally made bars because I thought they were also still independent.
