On-Farm Markets and Chocolate Shops

You can buy chocolates at our On-Farm Market, after classes, and during special Chocolate Shop hours. You can pre-order for pickup when items are available and the purchasing window is open. OR, just come by and browse.

Chocolate Shop

During the summer when we have the On-Farm Market, we do not generally offer separate Chocolate Shop hours. Check here for our most current collection.

On-Farm Markets

We sell what we are harvesting that week. Some items are around for the whole season and others change as the summer progresses. You can see previous year's blog posts to get a sense of what tends to be available month to month.
