Sarah Payne started selling her organic homemade truffles on eBay from her home in Partridge Green. The kitchen, which doubled as a factory, became so full of goodies that husband Rory built a shed in the garden for the overspill. But the business kept on growing! They now have their own Cocoa Loco-focused kitchen in Horsham. Beyond being utterly delicious, their treats also have high eco credentials. Their organic cacao, for example, is grown in gaps in the rainforest canopy, not from clear-cut areas.
Each week, the amount of rubbish produced by their business is equal to just one household bin. Everything else is recycled. Their electricity is from a green power company and all their packaging is bio-degradable and compostable. There's not a scrap of plastic to be seen either – all their bags are cellulose.
The iconic Anzac biscuit was originally made to send to the ANZACs (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) serving in Gallipoli. Sarah, founder of Cocoa Loco, is mad about these oaty, golden syrupy biscuits and has come up with her own rendition, which is sweetly crowned with chocolate button.
