That little green frog

"Our little green frog is recognized by consumers around the world as the symbol of environmental, social and economic sustainability."
- Rainforest Alliance™
Bixby & Co. Chocolate was born from a commitment to fairness, sustainability, minimal environmental impact and community enhancement. We are passionate about chocolate. As candy makers and now the first bean to bar maker in Maine, we seek to make clean, real and sustainable confectionery products. We strive to show our dedication to this philosophy by using Rainforest Alliance Certified™ cocoa.
Farms
Rainforest Alliance Certified™ farms support a healthy environment, promote the well-being of workers and their communities and use efficient farm methods. Certification helps to ensure farm workers have safe working conditions, dignified housing, and access to medical care and schools for their children. Certification helps protect ecosystems, including wildlife habitat, water and soil.

Bixby & Co. works to support the chocolate community through participation in educational tours like these and using Rainforest Alliance Certified cocoa.
