Our Commitment to Accessibility
At Terroir Cocoa, we believe that access to premium chocolate, agricultural education, and sustainable farming resources should be inclusive and available to everyone. Whether you're browsing our single-origin collection, learning about our bean-to-bar process, or contacting our farm team, your digital experience with us matters.
We design and develop with accessibility at the forefront, ensuring that individuals using assistive technologies, keyboard navigation, screen magnifiers, or alternative input methods can fully engage with our website and services.
Standards & Compliance
Terroir Cocoa strives to conform to the following accessibility standards:
- Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA – International standard for web accessibility
