Kate McAleer is passionate about two things: chocolate and supporting her local community. Kate founded Bixby Chocolate in 2011 to ethically produce chocolate from her workshop in Rockport, Maine. Drawing recipe inspiration from family and the surrounding community, she produces an array of tasty chocolate confections, including the famous Needhams. Kate is also a proud sponsor of Project Puffin and helps support the vital conservation work of the National Audubon Society to protect birds and the environments we all share.
