MARKHAM & FITZ Bentonville, Arkansas, USA

“Make amazing chocolate. Celebrate people.” Such is the mission of bean-to-bar chocolate makers Lauren Blanco and Preston Stewart, whose professional backgrounds in cultural anthropology and chemistry, respectively, have collided in the world of chocolate. This happy medium has given us the Brain Food bar, Ooh La Lavender, and Cracked Cacao. But along with their fun and creative side, Markham & Fitz is equally committed to a sustainable approach with an eye towards restoration in every small step of their mighty endeavor, which now includes a dessert bar and cafe with specialty boozy concoctions. Cheers to that!

Markham and Fitz is available on special-order basis: lead-time is 10 days maximum following the last day of every month.
