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 hand made 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 goal. After leaving Ireland they back-packed around Europe visiting thirteen different countries always searching out small artisianal chocolate shops - their back pack consisted of a bagette, fresh jam,butter and chocolate, chocolate and chocolate. After arriving back home, this dream was always a constant in the background - Clint focusing on the pedigrees, feeds, nutrition, comfort and quality of the cows 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 cow's milk. Every chocolate has different cows and blended at different persentages, as an example, their cow's Pearl (45%), Viola (30%) and Princess's (25%) milk are combined to create the smooth, subtle creamy tast  and soft melting of the Hazelnut Coffee Praline. 

  Our cows in the stable are fed the finest sweetest hay and feeds; from this they produce fresh milk.
