 ourney of the cacao bean from rain forest to market. Mimi is passionat
 e about sustainable agriculture and organic practices and she brings t
 his to her artful chocolate creations.\n\n“My love for rich, dark ch
 ocolate and a deep connection to my garden inspired my truffles and ot
 her chocolate creations. I use fruits, edible flowers and herbs from m
 y summer garden and from the soils and the natural beauty of northern 
 Michigan. Travels and studies of chocolate in France and Scandinavia a
 lso helped give birth to this production. I hope you will enjoy these 
 handcrafted, artisan chocolates for their quality and their uniqueness
