OK, a bit of a break from urban agriculture today...because there are a few good blogs out there that I want to post about.

First, my friends Kerstin and Cyrus own a fantastic chocolate shop in Edmonton called Kerstin's Chocolates. The store is open (so buy your Christmas gifts, people) but Kerstin, Cyrus and their two kids are trekking around the globe visiting all sorts of chocolate at the source. Even better, they're blogging and posting fantastic photosets from their adventures that are taking them to chocolatier salons in Paris to exclusive cocoa plantations in Madagascar...yes, read Kerstin's report and see her photos from their visit to a cocoa plantation in Ambanja, in Madagascar, where some of the best COCOA IN THE WORLD comes from.
