The Mendocino Coast is one of the most beautiful places in the world. I spent my high school and early adult years here and when Alex expressed an interest in moving back I was thrilled. It was our dream to have a small business on the Coast and when I started working with chocolate it naturally fell together. I love working with chocolate, as difficult as it can be, because of the demanding nature of the medium and because of the warm reception I receive when a chocolate fan tastes my work. Mendocino is a little like that too; not the easiest place to build a life, but the rewards are abundant.
