Holy Cow Sweetness!
THORNCREST FARM
The idea for Milk House Chocolates began in the summer of 1984 when Kimberly was working in Ireland. A small shop down the road was making handmade pastries with fresh cream, butter and milk from the farm close by: their chocolate desserts were amazing! When Clint joined Kimberly in Ireland, the first place they ventured was to the little pastry shop. It was there that the idea of making chocolate and treats from Clint's cows turned into a dream and a goal.
After leaving Ireland, Kim and Clint back-packed around Europe to thirteen different countries, always searching for small artisanal chocolate shops. Their backpack consisted of a baguette, fresh jam, butter and chocolate, chocolate, chocolate. After arriving back home, this dream was always a constant in the background. Clint focused on the pedigrees, feeds, nutrition, comfort and quality of the cows in order to produce the right type of milk for the flavor and consistency for the chocolate and the ganache. Kimberly was blending the cream, butter, milk from different cows and flavors to develop the subtle combinations she was looking for. Both of them knew they wanted to produce something delicious and fresh from their cows' milk. Hence the creation of Milk House Chocolates.
Milk House Chocolates brings you artisanal chocolates made in small batches with our fresh milk, cream and butter. These chocolates will melt different, taste different and feel different. If you like locally grown fresh food, made with the absolute purest ingredients, with attention to detail, come taste the difference and enjoy!
Our cows in the stable are fed the finest sweetest hay and feeds; from this they produce their signature milk, cream and butters used to perfect the chocolate ganaches.
